Stands  On  Its  Record 
1-4  the  cream  separator  field.  It  was  the  pioneer  in  1878.  It  had  a 
_L  long  start  and  has  always  held  its  lead.  It  has  always  led  in  every 
step  of  cream  separator  development  and  popularity,  and  more  De 
Lavals  are  in  use  today  than  all  other  makes  combined. 
It  has  always  been  recognized  as  the  closest  skimming  cream  sep¬ 
arator.  That’s  the  main  reason  why  98%  of  the  world’s  creameries 
use  it  to  the  exclusion  of  all  others. 
Because  of  its  cleaner  skimming,  ease  of  operation  and  wonderful 
durability,  every  De  Laval  user  is  a  “booster”  and  the  better  its  work 
is  known  in  a  neighborhood  the  more  popular  it  becomes. 
The  better  quality  of  cream  it  produces  is  attested  by  the  fact  that 
De  Lava!  produced  cream  and  butter  have  scored  highest  at  every 
annual  contest  of  the  National  Butterinakers’  Association  for  twenty- 
four  years  and  in  every  great  representative  contest  for  over 
thirty  years.  Last  but  not  least,  the  De  Laval  was  awarded  the  Grand 
Prize  at  the  San  Francisco  Exposition  in  1915  as  at  every  other  great 
exposition  since  its  invention. 
The  creamerymen’s  choice  can’t  be 
far  wrong.  The  world's  greatest  dairymen
