THE ORIGINAL QUINBY SMOKER, 



with upright bellows and tube, has been upon the 

 market hve years longer than any smoker made. 



"The lurgest bee-kee er- use them." 



"The He.herington Bros are the most extensive 

 bee-keepers in the United States." 



Cherry Valley. N. Y., March 22, 1881 . 



After testing your smokers with others of the best 

 make, I do not hesitate to order two dozen for use in 

 our apiaries. When we use a Smoker we make a 

 business of it. running it all day and burning hard 

 maple wood, which tests the construction most thor- 

 oughly. Those we have been using admit coals into 

 the bellows, which burn the leather. The tube in 

 yourQuinby Smoker running further into the fire- 

 box, must prevent this in a great measure. 



J.E. HETHERINGTON. 



We warrant our new Double-Blnst to be the BEST 

 Smoker made, or will re.'und the money.
