This was the beautiful May Day, that is the way it reads in the poetry book, but gee whiz, it would have taken a lot of nerve to have even looked at the green.

Cream Q Separators 1 Don't buy a cream separator without be- jSg R ing sure you KNOW what you are doing. KS Making a mistake in buying a cream separator means a great deal—it means L waste of time and butterfat twice a day, H | lll 1 every day in the year, if you get the ■o| wrong machine—until you "scrap” the machine itself. H| More than 15,000 users who had made such a mistake HM replaced th.-ir mistaken” machines with DE LAVAL sipjaTT era tors during the year 1908. They had probably wasted Five Million Dollars worth aEf-3 of investment, labor and butter meanwhile. KB If you feel inclined to buy some other make of separator ■K by all means do so, if you can find any apparently good ■■ Ige-® reason for it. BUT why not TRY a DE LAVAL machine beside the 9H >■,. other machine for ONE WEEK before you actually con- '■ Stgg tract to buv it? Simply SEE the comparative operation HH HH and comparative results and examine the comparative MgM construction. Thats a imposition open to every intending separator ■K buyer. Any DE LAVAL agent will carry it out. WHY HH MM not avail of it and KNOW what you are doing before MH MS making this very important investment? SKI Don't let any alluring "catalogue house literature or Rb ■H clever talking agent wheedle you into buying any other -SRb separator wi’hout FIRST actually TRYING it alongside HI a DE LAVAL Au® |Mi In other words, buy your separator intelligently and gggß knowingly and not on blind faith in anybody's represen- toM pi tations - O V/; JOHN SPUHLER.
