Bee Smokers 



Pretty Recog^nition 



A lady to whom I sent a Smoke Engine to order per mail sent 

 this delicate recognition, "I am pleased," and signed her name. 



We have made hundreds of thousands of smokers in the last twenty- 

 eight years. They always please and last; don't spit fire; don't go out; 

 don't dauh themselves all over. We are the most extensive exclusively 

 bee-smoker makers in the world.

 Dear Mr. Bingham: — Enclosed find money-order for a honey-knife 

 and smoker. I can't do business without a Bingham Smoke Engine.
