SMOHE 



AND 



SMOKEHS. 



I am overwhelmed with letters asking "which size 

 of smoker is the best?" 



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

 for Im apiaries, and for coarse f ml they are the best. 



The Standard is what its name implies, and consti- 

 tutes the hulk of sales 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 one dollar, as the gentle- 

 naan wanted a large size. 



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

 would not be without one a single day in the season 

 for the price." 



They go aU the time and btuii sound or rotten wood, 

 tohctfco, or sulphur. 



Dircetious sent with every smoker. 



These smokers are a necessity in modern hcc cultiMr, 

 and are i)iiUsiii})s<th1e in the easy, profitnhle and pleas- 

 ant maiiaiiitni nt of bees in any hive — ancient or mod- 

 ern. Sent by mail, pf)St paid, on receipt of price.

 will be $3.00. Small and dark ones, when we have 

 them, will be $1.50. A. L ROOT, Medina, O.
