1909 Tubular "A" 



Common "disc" or "bucket bowl" separators 

 require more careful leveling than Tubulars. Yet, 

 to level these common separators, you must place 

 a spirit level on their frames. If their frames are 

 a little out of true, as they usually, are, the level- 

 ing of the common "disc" or "bucket bowl" 

 separator is largely guesswork. 



The plumb bob is one of the handy improvements on the 

 1909 Sharpies Tubular "A" cream separator. It adds 

 miles to the great lead Tubulars have always had over all 

 other separators. 



This "plumb bob " enables you to set the 1909 Tubular 

 " A " perfectly level in a minute — quicker than you could find 

 the spirit level needed to set any other separator. You can 

 always tell, by a glance at the plumb bob, whether Tubular 

 " A " separators are level, thus always keeping the Tubular up 

 to its very best work. Just another example of the " up to the 

 minute " and " away ahead of the rest " character of Tubulars. 



Tubulars Are Different From All Other Separators 



Tubulars are built on absolutely correct principles — that is, Tubulars have a bottom fed bowl hanging 

 below a simple, frictionless ball bearing. The one piece frame and the permanent, compact, strong construc- 

 tion of Tubulars enables us to add to Tubulars some very handy devices which it is impossible for other 

 manufacturers to use on their constantly changing common "bucket bowl" machines. 



The incorrect principles of common " bucket bowl " machines — that is, a top fed bowl set up on top 

 of a spindle— make all such machines unsatisfactory and necessitate constant changes that are merely 

 makeshifts and not improvements. 



Tubulars are built in the world's greatest, best equipped cream separator works. We have additional Tubular 

 factories in Canada and Germany. Tubular sales for 1908 were way ahead of 1907 — way out of sight of any competitor, 

 if not all competitors combined. 



Our 1909 Tubular "A" is better than any previous Tubular 

 and is guaranteed forever in every part. Write for Catalog No. 215. 



It is the easiest thing in the world to level the 

 Tubular "A" cream separator shown here. Simply 

 wedge up under the corners of the machine until 

 the point of the plumb bob hangs directly over the 

 point of the plumb bob center, or plug, set into the 

 base of the frame. Done in a minute and always 

 right. Observe the low supply can on the Tubular 

 — you need not move it to take out the bowl.

Armsful of bloom — long, hardy sprays of wondrous beauty — will 

 reward you in blooming season. No flower can surpass the Gladio- 

 lus in rich profusion of rainbow tints. No flower is easier to culti- 

 vate. No flower can give you so much pleasure in proportion to 

 the modicum of money, time and care required to raise it. Plant 

 it where you will, — in the tiniest garden nook or in large beds — it 

 will lend a charm, form a fit setting to every surrounding object. 

 If you want a perfect gar- 

 den, you simply cannot 

 get along without the 

 marvelous Gladiolus. 



Cowee's New Book 



"A Summer with 



the Gladiolus" 



Should be in the hands of 

 every flower-lover. Nothing 

 like it has yet been pub- 

 lished; a splendid example 

 of the printer's art. Many 

 of the illustrations are from 

 Autochromes, the wonder- 

 ful new French color photo- 

 graphs — almost a breathing 

 semblance of the blossoms 

 themselves. Helpful, yes 

 indispensable, to any person 

 who wants to grow the 

 Gladiolus successfully. 

 Leading varieties minutely 

 described. You need this book
