_____ will make more
money for their owner than four
cows with “gravity setting.”
Thousands upon thousands of cow owners have already proved
this statement for themselves; any experienced dairyman will veriry
It for you.
With such a big saving It is hard to understand why any cow
owner should try to get along without a De Laval Cream Separator.
If you are selling cream or making butter, and have no
seoarator, or else an inferior machine, we know if we could put
a De Laval on your place we would be doing you a personal favor.
If vou haven’t a separator don’t make the mistake of starting
with a‘‘cheap” or inferior machine. When you do buy a separator
Is sooner or later you surely will-be sure to get the best-the
De Laval. Remember that you can’t make money bv tiying to
save money in the purchase of a cream separator. A De Laval
only costs a little more than the cheapest and will save you twice
as much and last five to ten times as long as other separators.
Before you buy a Cream Separator be sure to
SEE AND TRY A DE LAVAL
