CREAM SEPARATOR
No matter what anyone may tell you there is only one speed
at which you can turn a separator crank and get all the cream and
cream of uniform thickness and that’s the speed indicated on
the crank
Every hand-operated cream separator has the correct number
of turns of the crank handle per minute plainly indicated upon the
crank handle Every separator of
whatever make will do better work
at the proper and indicated speed
than at any other
Every one of the NEW De Lavals
has a Bell Speed-Indicator When
you slow down the bejl rings It
warns you every time the handle goes
around too slowly You cant be
mistaken about it
The Bell Speed -Indicator adds
nothing to the price but much to the
value of the NEW De Laval
Come in and see 'how the
Bell Speed-Indicator works
BELL SPEED-INDICATOR
The “warning signal" that
insures operation 'at the
