BINGHAM BIG 

 SMOKE SMOKER 



Wins contest at New York State 

 Beekeepers July meeting 



Gilberts. ille, N. Y., Oct. 3, 1921. 

 A. G. Woodman Co.: 



Last winter I bought a copper Big 

 Smoke Smoker, with shield, of you, and 

 in July took the same to the Chenango 

 County beekeepers' picnic and entered 

 the smoker contest. There were nine 

 contestants and the Big Smoke won the 

 prize, which was a fine queen bee. 

 Needless to say, I was very proud of 

 the victory. They gave us one minute, 

 and at the expiration of thirty-five min- 

 utes the Big Smoke was the only one 

 burning. They called it a "Steam 

 Boiler." However, it won, and 1 

 thought I would inform you. 



C. F. Bushnell. 



The contestants were allowed to use 

 any fuel they desired, and as much or 

 as little of it as thought advisable. The 

 contestants were given one minute in 

 which to light their smokers, then let 

 set for thirty minutes. At the end of 

 this period, the one that smoked best 

 in thirty seconds won the prize.
