SHARPIES 



^ SUCTION-FEED ,^ 



Cream separator 



Because it gets all the cream at widely varying speeds. It doesn't lose 

 cream when turned below speed. It's the only separator that doesn't. 

 Because it delivers cream of even thickness, no matter how the speed 

 is varied. It's the only separator that does. 



Because the capacity can be increased by simply turning it faster. It's 

 the only separator that can. 



Because the simple tubular bowl has no discs to 

 wash or to mix up. There is only one piece in the 

 bowl, so that washing up is easy and quick. 

 You can easily pour milk from a 40-quart can into the 

 low Sharpies supply tank. 



The Sharpies is ruggedly built for hard service. It 

 turns very easily, due to the ball bearing running in 

 oil. And, remember, it getj- all the cream all the time.

 and the extra profits it will earn for you.
