I am overwhelmed with letters asking "which size 

 smoker is the best?" 



Mr. J. E. Hetherington ordered eight of the large 

 for /ii4* apiarii-tt and for cv-arst fiul they are the t>e^t. 



The Standard is what its name implies and consti- 

 tutes the huU: of $ahs so far. 



The small is a pretty implement answering nicely 

 for a few colonies of beess and to kiU Uee on house 

 plants, it is larger, however, than the improved 

 Qulnby. 



The first "Direct Draft" smoker erer ^jM has been 

 used one year and sold for one dollar as the gentle- 

 man wanted a Jarg-s size. 



It was a Standard and he paid ?2.00 and says "he 

 irouZd not be icithtmt one a single day in xhe'$easi.'n 

 for the price." 



They go all the time and bum senind or rotten wood, 

 tdhaceo or sulphur. 



Directions sent irith every smeiher. 



These smokers are a ni(<.<<itii in mr>>3en\ ttee cxiltitre, 

 and are indisptiisab}( in the easy, pirxiiitatiie and fiea.s- 

 ant maua^|(m^nt of bees in any hive— ^ancient or mod-
