Your need of a
CREAM SEPARATOR
is greater right now
than ever before
These are the days of the full milk pail.
But if you are trying to get along without any cream
separator, or with an inferior or half-worn-out machine,
the more milk you get the more cream you lose.
And no farmer can afford to lose even a little cream
when butter-fat is selling at from 40 to 50 cents a pound.
With butter-fat at present prices, and our country
begging m to stop waste, "cream slacker" methods of
skin lining calk must go.
Get a De Laval right away and put all the cream
q cream cftn
There is no other cream separator that can compare
with the De Laval in clean slamming, capacity, ease qf
operation, freedom from repairs and durability.
Order year Do Laval now and let it begin string cream for you richt
way. Remember that a De Laral may be bought f or cash or on each
Eberal term to tare its own cost See the local De Laral agent, or,
tf ye don't know him, write to the nearest De Laral office as below.
