*-'== *■* — ™ 7 ^^ ~ F. Bingham, of Michi- 



gan. Mr. Bingham man- 

 ufactured the Bingham 

 Smoker and Bingham 

 Honey Knife for near- 

 ly thirty-five years, and 

 in 1912, becoming a 

 very old man, we pur- 

 chased this business 

 and joined it to our 

 established business of 

 beekeepers' supplies, 

 and general beeware. 

 Those who knew Mr. 

 Bingham will join us 

 in saying that he was 



one of the finest of men, and it gives us much pleasure to help perpetuate his 



name in the beekeeping industry. 



Bingham Smokers have been improved from time to time, are now the finest on the market, and 

 for over forty years have been the standard in this and many foreign countries. For sale by all 

 dealers in bee supplies, or direct from the manufacturers.

We are furnishing the same quality s*eel, best money can buy, thin-bladed 

 knives that Mr. Bingham manufactured years ago. The old-timers all remem- 

 ber these knives and many are writing in, as Mr. Volstad in the following 

 letters. The substitutes offered by oth- 

 ers have not given the satisfaction de- 

 sired. Aw

 monial on the steam-heated Bingham Knife, too long for this space.
