248 New Quinby Smoker Column. It is but just to call the attention of bee-keepers to the fact that those who compare the Quinby with the BinKham Smoker, refer to the last year's Smoker, and not the better one 1 am selling the present season. L. C. RUOT. Lansing, Mich., June 6, 1878. I have now tried the New Quinby Smoker, side by side with the Bingham, and see no essential difference in their merits, which is great praise for either one. I wish I could have tried yours before 1 sent out last proof-sheets of book ; I should have said as much as the above in your favor, and will in the revised edi- tion. I congratulate you, and bee-keepers, too, on your advance, A.J.Cook. Cherry Valley, N. Y., May 5,1878. Li. C. ROOT, Esq.—Dear Sir: Your improved Smo- ker received and tested. I consider it the most com- glete one in the market. I bought eight of Mr. lingham last winter, but had you then been manu- facturing the perfect Smoker you now offer the public, I should certainly have purchased of you. J. E. Hethekington. Borodino, N. Y., May ti, 1878. I pronounce it decidedly the best bellows Smoker made. * * * G. M. Doolittle. Starkville, N. Y., May 1, 1878. In excellence of workmanship and material, it far surpasses any other Smoker 1 have ever examined. P. H. Elwood. Canajoharie, N. Y., May, 1878. We are glad to announce, however, that Mr. L. C. Root has improved his Smoker so much that it is decidedly better than any other Smoker. J. H. NELLIS. White Plains, N. Y., June 3,1878. I found it better than the Bingham, which up to this time is the best 1 had seen. C. J. Quinby. East Saginaw, Mich., June IS, 1878. You have got up a f/ood Smofecr. It is a little heavy, but I think that is an advantage, as it will stand up better when you are not using it. I am pleased with the way it is made, and it will last for years with almost any kind of use. O. J. Hethekington. The Best Yet.—T. B.
