Ha! Ha! History, Ha! Ha! 



The Hethering-ton Brothers are the largest Bee- 

 Keepcrs in the LT. S. Bingham & Hetherington smo- 

 kers and Honey-Knives were the only ones at the 

 last American Bee-Keepers' Society; also at the 

 Michigan State Society. They were invented for 

 our own use in our own apiaries, and patented to 

 secure us the credit of their invention, and the 

 means of advertising them so as to guard bee-keep- 

 ers against worthless imitations. There are no oth- 

 er smokers advertised which were not made by sup- 

 ply dealers, and not for their own use. Twenty 

 thousand of ours are in use in the best apiaries. All 

 praise them as best. None complain. We are the 

 only legal makers of them, and we sell no other sup- 

 plies. We are proud of them. Send card for circu- 

 lars or wholesale rates to
