Bingham Smoker Corner. 



Borodino, N. Y., July 14, 1879. 

 Gentlemen : 1 have used one of your uncapping 

 knives for the first to-day, and desire to say, that it 

 is far the best knife I ever used. It carries the cap- 

 pings clear from the comb, and is not so thin as to 

 bend in the comb as some of the light ones do. 



G. M. DOOLITTLE. 



Cape Girardeau, Mo., Juiy 16, 1879. 

 The Smokers as well as the Honey Knives give ex- 

 cellent satisfaction, and are all they are represented 

 to be. G. C. THILENIUS. 



Sprout Brook, Mont. Co., N. V., July 17, 1879. 

 You have doubtless heard of the Irishman who 

 went to buy a stove. The dealer, after showing him 

 the various styles, pointed to the best one and said : 

 "If you will buy one of this kind you can save half 

 of your wood." Pat replied : "Be jabers, then, I'll 

 take two, and save it all. The Bingham & Hether- 

 ington Honey Knife that I used last season saves so 

 much time in uncapping, that I want another to try 

 and save it all. Time, you know, is honey with us bee- 

 keepers just now. Chas. C. Van Deusen. 



SOMETHING OLD! 



OLDEST AND BEST ! 



The old, reliable, original, direct- 

 draft Smoker. 



This Smoker is so perfect that it 

 has never been improved. The 

 more exact the copy the better the 

 Smoker and the plainer the in- 

 fringement. Beware of all new 

 direct-draft Smokers — Bingham 

 owns all there is of value in them. 

 Every seller and user is liable. Our 

 8moker has been in use two years 

 longer than any bellows Smoker 

 now made. If you want the best 

 Smoker and no further expense, 

 buy only the Bingham. If you want 

 to encouraee invention and not 

 theft, buy only the Bingham.
