 T. F. BINGHAM:— 



Dear Sir— I received the Smoker in good 

 order. The wire-handle and bent-tube are a 

 great improvement. The wire-handle is a 

 great convenience in removing the cone, en- 

 tirely prevents burning of the fingers, and the 

 bent-tube enables the bee-keeper to use the 

 smoke just where he needs it, without any 

 danger of soot, ashes or fire. It entirely does 

 away with spoilt sections or the dropping of 

 fire. I thought the old Bingham Smoker was 

 good, and cannot see what the new one leaves 

 to be desired. Yours truly, 



R. W. HiGINBOTHAM.
