HIGHEST AWARD 
AT THE PAN-AMERICAN EXPOSITION 
The United States Cream Separator 
HAS WON 
COLD MEDAL OR THE HIGHEST AWARD 
at Every International Exposition at whkh it has 
been exhibited since its invention. 
Our “would-be competitors” are advertising extensively as 
follows; 
“ The supremacy of the DeLaval machines at Buffalo is a con- 
tinuatioir of their triumphant record at all previous great exposi¬ 
tions.” 
Yes, this supremacy (?) is a contiimation of their triumpliant (?) 
record, and that record sliows the '‘triumphant supremacy” was 
IN WIND BUT NOT IN WORK 
Mr. Edward Van Alstyne, Supt. of Model Dairy at the Pan- 
American, states, under date of Nov. ist, “ I find since the receipt 
of your letter, after carefully going over the figures of the seventy- 
one runs of their (the DeLaval) machine that I miscalled the 
figures, and the reading should be .0172 instead of .0161.” 
NOW READ WHAT THE UNITED STATES 
SEPARATOR DID IN THE MODEL DAIRY 
Mr. Van Alstyne states in reference to the work done by the 
United States Separator in tlie Model Dairy at the Pan-American 
Exposition, from Sept. 29th to Oct. 30th, inclusive, that in the 
fifty separate runs made by that separator during these days, with 
the milk of the ten different herds in the dairy test, the average 
per cent, of fat left in the skimniilk was .0138. 
DeLaval average test of skimmilk .0172 
United States average test of skimmilk . 0138 
Difference in favor of the United States .0034 
This shows that the DeLaval separator left 25 per cent, more 
butter fat in the skimmilk than the United States—an immense 
waste that amounts to a very large sum of money upon the dairy 
products of the world. Enough to pay for a United States Sepa¬ 
rator to replace every DeLaval Separator now in use. 
Perhaps our chagrined and “ disgruntled would-be competitors” 
“ with characteristic advertising honesty” will undertake to bluff 
this statement off, but it remains true and is a matter of record 
that cannot he successfully denied.
