ORIGINAL PATENTS. 



The Original 



BINGHAM 



Bee Smoker 



Patented, 1878 B 



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

 states that "Mr. Binpham was the first to improve 

 the old Quinby siuiiker by establisiiint; a direct 

 draft." Five years of pert^istent effort has demoD- 

 etrated that no one but Binjiham lias been able to 

 improve a Bingham smoker. Hundreds of Bing- 

 ham smokers have been in use five years, and ere 

 yet in working order. 'I'hey burn lots of blocks 

 and chips and stufl, 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 

 emoke up or down or sideways, much or little, 

 swift or slow, just as you 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 & 

 Hetherinttton 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 4.5,1X^10 in use from one 

 to five years, and receivins: but one letter of com- 

 plaint. 



With European and American orders already 

 received for over h.inio. there is evidence that i^^Mr 

 with U8 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.
