BINGHAM 



Bee Smoker 



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

 states that " Mr. Bintrham wa3 the first to improve 

 the old Quinby smoker by establiahinK a direct 

 draft." Five years of persistent effort has demon- 

 strated that no one but Bingham bas been able to 

 improve a r.ineham smoker. Hundreds of Bing- 

 ham 8m<:ikers have been in use tive years, and are 

 yet in working order. They burn lots of blocks 

 and chips and stuff, and make lots 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 sideways, much or little, 

 swift or s*"w. ju-i as yoH please, any or all the 

 time; top up or down, they always go! 



Bee-keepers will save money and vexation by 

 buying genuine Bingham smokers and Bingham & 

 Hetherington Uncapping-Knives first. "We neither 

 make nor handle any other supplies; but of these 

 we are the original inventors, and only legal 

 makers, and have had over 45,0'K) in use trom one 

 to five year*, and receiving but one letter of com- 

 plaint. 



With European and American orders already 

 received for over 3.0 wt. there is evidence that 1884 

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

 such goods as we make have met the advanced 

 wants of the most advanced bee-keepers in Eu- 

 rope and America.
