 Hives, Extractors and anything required about the

 will be sent free, on application. 



We have gotten up a "Constitution and By-Laws," 

 suitable for local Associations, which we can supply, 

 with the name and location of any society printed, 

 at $2 per hundred copies, postpaid. If less than 100 

 are ordered, they will have a blank left for writing in 

 the name of the Association, etc. Sample copy will 

 be sent for a three-cent postage stamp. 



Our answer to all who ask credit is this : We sell on 

 small margins, and cannot afford to take the risks of 

 doing a credit business. If we did such a business, 

 we should be obliged to add at least 10 to 20 per cent, 

 more to our prices, to make up for those who would 

 never pay, and to pay the expenses of keeping book- 

 accounts with our customers— this we know our Cash 

 customers would not think to their advantage.— 

 This rule we must make general in order not to do 

 injustice to any one. The cash system gives all the 

 advantage to cash customers, while the credit sys- 

 tem works to their injury. In justice to all we must 

 therefore require Cash with the order. 



Bingham Smoker Corner. 



Wyoming, Iowa, March 25, 1879.— Smokers and knife 

 received ; knife is a beauty. If that knife won't un- 

 cap, they cannot make one that will. 



Yours truly, J. E. HUNTER. 



Agricultural College, Lansing, Mich., March 12. 1879. 

 —I believe in smokers, especially Bingham's smoker, 

 and I deem myself fairly qualified to judge in the 

 matter, because I have tried, during the past few 

 years, most stvles before the bee-keeping public. 

 Truly yours, FRANK BENTON. 



Shelbyville, Ky., April 9, 1879.— Enclosed find P.O. 

 order, for which send me half a dozen standard smo- 

 kers. I have the one I first bought of you, three 

 years ago. and it is not yet out of order. 



HENRY KRUEGER. 



We could not do without Bingham's smoker. We 

 use the standard size and have five of them in use 

 in our apiaries. Bingham & Hetherington's honey 

 knife is preferred by our hands, because it separates 

 the cappings entirely from the combs.— CHAS. DA- 

 DANT Sc SON, Hamilton, 111., in illustrated circular 

 for 1879.
