BINGHAM 



Bee Smoker 



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

 ttates that " Mr. Bingham was the first to improve 

 the old Quinhy smoker by establishinK a direct 

 draft." Five years of persistent effort has demon- 

 strated that no one but Bingham has been able to 

 improve a Bingham smoker. Hundreds of Bing- 

 ham smokers have been in use five 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, 

 swifter slow, just 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 Dncapping-Knives first. We neither 

 make nor handle any other supplies: but <.if these 

 we are the original inventors, and only legal 

 makers, and have had over 45,000 in use from one 

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

 plaint, ^ , 



With European and American orders already 

 received for over h.^km:>, there is evidence that 1884 

 with 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.
