 If you buy a Bingham 

 Smoker, or a Bingham & 

 Hetherington Honey-Knife, 

 you are sure of the best and 

 cheapest. The largest bee- 

 keejiers use them exclusive- 

 ly. Twenty thousand in use; 

 not one ever returned, or 

 letter of complaint receiv- 

 ed. Our original patent 

 Smokers and Honey-Knives 

 were the only ones on exhi- 

 bition at the last National 

 Bee -Keepers' Convention. 

 Bingham Smokers, all but 

 the Small, have fire and cin- 

 der proof bellows. The large 

 and extra Standard Smo- 

 kers have extra wide shields 

 to prevent burnt fingers. 

 These are the only real im- 

 provements made in bee- 

 smokers since the Direct- 

 Draft invention. Bingham is the inventor and only 

 Ic(ial maker of them.
