The Big Smoke has j ust been pro- 

 duced in response to a demand for a 

 larger-size smoker, one that will hold 

 more fuel, require filling less often, 

 from extensive handlers.

Dear Mr. Woodman : — I have now 

 had several weeks' opportunity to try 

 out the New Smoker, called the Big 

 Smoke, with the guard about the fire 

 pot. The smoker is even more than I 

 anticipated, and unless something else 

 is brought out that is still better, you 

 can be assured that this particular one 

 will be standard equipment for this 

 place from now on.

 State Inspector of Apiaries. 



The Genuine Bingham Honey Un- 

 capping Knife is manufactured by us 

 here at Grand Rapids and is made of 

 the finest quality steel. These thin- 

 bladed knives, as furnished by Mr. 

 Bingham, gave the best of satisfaction, 

 as the old timers will remember. Our 

 Perfect Grip Cold Handle is one of the 

 improvements. 



The Woodman Section Fixer, a com- 

 bined section press and foundation fas- 

 tener, of pressed steel construction, 

 forms comb-honey sections and puts in 

 top and bottom foundation starters, all 

 at one handling. It is the finest equip- 

 ment for this work on the market.
