 most fully illustrated work pub- 

 lished. The press generally, and 

 best bee-keepers everywhere, are 

 recognizing the practical value of 

 this work for all classes of bee- 

 keepers. Price, by mail, $1. SO. 



Bellows Bee Smokers. 



The Quinby Smoker has been 

 upon the market four years longer 

 than any practical smoker made. 

 In 1879 it was much improved, and on March 11th a 

 patent was granted it over all other Smokers, which 

 fully protects all who buy, sell or use it. 



Our circular for 1880 illustrates and describes the 

 finest improvement ever made on Smokers. In 

 excellence of material and workmanship we chal- 

 lenge competition. We make the only calf-skin bel- 

 lows in the market. Price 15c, $1.35 and Si 1. SO. 

 By mail to all points, including Canada, 25c. extra. 

 Our new circular will be of particular value to 

 all who purchased Smokers prior to 1878.

 tions, includingthe Smoker, and price-list of general
