SHARPIES MILKE 



IN the five yeai-s, during which Sharpies Milkers have been at work in some of the best of the coun- 

 try's large and small dairies, they have attained a reputation for 98 per cent, satisfactoiy service. 

 But, despite the fact that the Sharpies Milker is now milking upwards of a quarter million cows, 

 there are still a number of daiiymen who are unacquainted with the mei'its of this wonderfully suc- 

 cessful machine. 



In a dairy where a two-unit Sharpies Milker is installed, the saving of one man's salary can almost 

 always be immediately effected, which, taken in the rough, averages $25 per month, or $300 per year. 

 The additional savings in time and in board taken in conjunction with other profits accruing from 

 the use cf the IMilker, should approximate half as much more, or $450 in all. 



When a Sharpies Milker is in- 

 stalled, it is soon found that the 

 same number of men are not 

 needed to do the chores and odd 

 jobs which fill in the gap between 

 the morning and evening milking 

 periods. Men otherwise unneces- 

 sary are sometimes kept on the 

 payroll as milkers because the 

 milking cannot be done without 

 their help. 



Using this two-unit Sharpies 

 Milker, one man can milk a 

 twenty-cow herd in one hour. This 

 feature of the Sharpies Milker, 

 namely, fast milking, which is 

 made possible by the quick and 

 entire relief of the "upward 

 squeeze," has two big advantages. 

 It gets the job done quickly and 

 it tends to make the cow give 

 more milk. 



EXTRA UNITS. 



It frequently occurs that after 

 a two-unit outfit has been in- 

 stalled, that the user decides to 

 add another unit. In doing this 

 it is not necessary to make any 

 changes. All 

 that is neces- 

 sary is to order 

 another milk- 

 ing unit and 

 go right ahead 

 just the same 

 as previously. 



This unit 

 comprises pail, 

 pail lid, pulsa- 

 tor and teat 

 cups.

TESTIMONIAL. 



Gaithersburg, Md., Aug. 18, 1913. 

 Messrs. GrifTith & Turner Co., 

 Baltimore, Md. 



Dear Sirs: — After using a four-unit 

 Sharpies Milking Machine for eight 

 months, which has been in constant use 

 in my dairy of fifty to sixty cows, I am 

 glad to say it is giving perfect satisfac- 

 tion. I will increase my cows in Sep- 

 tember to eighty. With the scarcity of 

 labor to milk cows I would not do so 

 without a milking machine. I have had 

 two cows with udder trouble, but cer- 

 tainly do not blame the machine. In 

 fact, I consider it much easier on cows 

 than with many hand r 'Ikers. Anyone 

 who wishes to see machine in operation 

 will be welcome. Start milking every 

 afternoon at three o'clock. 



Very respectfully, 



J. B. DIAMOND. 



The New five-inch single cylin- 

 der pumping equipment just got- 

 ten out places a Sharpies Milker 

 within the reach of everyone. 

 Heretofore the Milker reached 

 maximum efficiency in dairies of 

 15 or imore cows. But the new 

 pump makes it possible to achieve 

 the same splendid results in dair- 

 ies of 10 to 25 cows. It also 

 makes a tremendous difference in 

 the cost of an outfit, as you can 

 now purchase a regular, standard, 

 one-man machine of two units, 

 big enough for a herd of 25 cows, 

 yet cheap enough for a herd of 

 10 cows, installed ready for use 

 at the total cost of $238. 



Installations are made under 

 the superintendence of Sharpies 

 Mechanical Experts, who stay on 

 the ground long enough to thor- 

 oughly instruct purchasers in the 

 care and method of operating the 

 machine. 



This outfit is still In operation and giving 

 entire satisfaction.
