"The Conqueror.'

The steady and increasing demand for the Large Smoker, and the frequent request for a larger one, have induced me to offer to bee-keepers one having a three by seven stove, with a chimney seven inches high and a bellows in proportion.

Large Smokers need wide shields to prevent heating the hands and burning the fingers. Only Bingham's have the wide shields, non-rusting springs, spark-proof bellows. All our latest improvements will be in this new size. It will be strictly number one in all respects. Sent by mail, postpaid, on receipt
