Numerous tests between the U. S. Hand Separators and the “Baby” Alpha 
fc Separators have resulted in victories for the U. S. Separators. 
IS This has exasperated the De Laval Company to such an extent that 
they resort to their old tricks to scare and bulldoze, and bring suit against 
a dairyman who discarded the De Laval “ Baby” No. 2 for a 
U. S. Hand Separator No. 5, because the U. S. was also much

It is not used by the U. S. Separator, and they know it, 
butthey take these desperate means to try to hold the trade. 
The public by this time should fully understand the animus of
