. American bee journal. Bee culture; Bees. 286 Bingham's Smoker Corner Will contain a short card from some one every month. See Bellows Smoker card on another page. B:;^^ It is just to say that no letters have ever been solicited which have been of are now put in this Cor- ner, and that we have many more, from the most conspicuous parties, also unsolicited. Thanking the public for their liberal patronage, which I have tried to merit, I remain, very truly, T. F. Bingham. P. S.—Parties wishing a very superior knife for uncapping, will see advertisement elsewhere. Galesburg, 111., July 13,1878. I received the smoker you sent. I am well pleased with it, and could not very well get along without it I use corn-cobs for fuel, and find them superior to anything else tried. I was called on yesterday by two parties to transfer 5 colonies that were in old box hives, and the consequence was the above orders for the Bingham smokers. As soon as men use them they see their usefulness, and, as a matter of course, must have them. H. Brown. Santa Monica, Cal., July 1,1878. J. F. Bingham—Dear Sir: On receipt of your letter and the smoker, I wrote yesterday, but had not tried the smoker when I wrote. To-day I have been trying it, and I am so disappointed in it that 1 thought I would write you again. Well it is a perfect little giant, and fills the bill to perfection. My part- ner had not used it one hour before he said (in his enthusiasm over it), he would not do without it for five dollars a month, and three or four bee men have already seen it, and all want one as soon as I can get them. So you may send me one dozen—half stand- ard and half large size. They are in so much of a hurry that I did think of telegraphing for them, but thought that would take off the profit. I think I can sell one to every bee man I show it to, but they must see it work before they will be satisfied, for there are so many humbugs, and it is so easy to get recom- mendations for anything. Yours truly, M
