SMOHiE 



AND 



I am overwhelmed with letters asking "which size 

 of smoker is the best?" 



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

 for /m'-v apiaries, and for coarse fuel they are the best. 



The Stan<lard is what its name implies, and consti- 

 tutes the hvlk of saj£s so far. 



The small is a pretty implement answering nicely 

 for a few colonies of bees, and to kill lice on house 

 plants; it is larger, however, than the improved 

 Quinby. 



The first "Direct Draft" smoker ever sold has been 

 used one year, and sold for (me dollar, as the gentle- 

 man wanted a large size. 



It was a Standard and he paid $'2.00 and says "he 

 ?('oi(?<l not be without one a singU day in the' season 

 for the price." 



They go all the time and hum sound or rotte7i wood, 

 tohaccK, or sulphur. 



Dirrcrinns srvt witli cvcrjf smol-cer. 



These smokers are a nrrcssity iti modern bee culture, 

 and are indispcmahlc in the easy, profitable and pleas- 

 ant mnnaneracnt of bees in any hive— ancient or mod- 

 ern. Sent by mail, post paid, on receipt of price.
