ORIGINAL PATENTS. 



The Orislnal 



BINGHAM 



Bee Smoker 



Patented, 1878. it 



Prof. Cook, in his valuable Manual of the Apiarv. 

 states that " Mr. Bincham was the first to Improve 

 ihe old Quinby smoker by estabiishinp a direct 

 draft." Five years of per!*tstentefft>rthas demon- 

 strated that no nne but Bintiham has been able to 

 improve a Binyham .'^moker. Hundreds i>f Kintr- 

 ham smokers have been in use five years, and are 

 yet in working (irder. They burn lota of blocks 

 and chips and stufl", and make Iota of smoke and 

 comfort, and have no dampers or match-box at- 

 tachments, as they never go out or fail to blow 

 smoke up or down or j-ideways, much or little, 

 Bwtft or s'ow, just as yon please, any or all the 

 time; top up or down, they always eo! 



Bee-beepers wiM save money and vexation by 

 buying genuine Bingham smokers and Bingham A 

 Hetherington Uncapping-Knivesiirst. We neither 

 make nor handle any <nher supplies; but '-f these 

 we are the original inventors, and only legal 

 makers, and have had over 4.'>.ihhi in use Jrom one 

 to five years, and receiving but one letter of com- 

 plaint. 



With European and American orders already 

 received for over 3,000, there ia evidence that I(SK4 

 with us is not likely to be an idle one. Also that 

 such g"ods as we make have met the advanced 

 wants of the m ^st advanced bee-keepera in Eu- 

 rope and America.
