SOMETHING OLD! 



OJLDEST AO 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 

 Smoker 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 encourage invention and not 

 theft, buy only the Bingham.
