KING'S 



SMOKE 



AND 



I am overwhelmed with letters asking "which size 

 of smoker is the best?" 



Mr. J. E. Hetherington ordered eight of the lar(ie 

 for his apiarie», and for coarse fuel 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 Uee on house 

 plants; it is larger, however, than the improved 

 Quinby, 



The first "Direct Draft" smoker erer sold has been 

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

 man wanted a large size. 



It was a Standard and he paid S3.00 and says "he 

 U)ou?d not be without one a, single day in the season 

 for the price." 



They <jo all the time and hum sotind or rotten wood, 

 tolxwcd, or sulphur. 



Directiiins nent unth every smolter. 



These snu )kers are a necessity in modem bee culture, 

 and are iiulisiirusahle in the easy, profitable and pleas- 

 ant ma)ia<in)init of bees in any hive— ancient or mod- 

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