The Bingham Bee Smoker has been on the market over forty years 



and is the standard in this and many foreign countries. It is the all 



important tool of the most extensive honey producers in the world. 



It is now made in five sizes.

Smoke Engine or Doctor in copper, $1 extra. 



The Big Smoke has just been 

 produced in response to a de- 

 mand for a larger size smoker, 

 one that will hold more fuel, re- 

 quire filling less often, from ex- 

 tensive bee handlers. The shield 

 designated by the letter "B" in 

 the cut above, is designed as a 

 matter of protection from the 

 hot fire pot. Many hold the 

 smoker by the bellows, between 

 the knees, when at work, and 

 the shield will prevent burning 

 of the trousers or one's legs. 



The Woodman Section Fixer, a 

 combined section press and 

 foundation fastener, of pressed 

 steel construction, forms comb- 

 honey sections and puts in top 

 and bottom foundation starters, 

 all at one handling. It is the 

 finest equipment for this work 

 on the market.
