BUYING A 
CREAM SEPARATOR 
Thousands of dairy farmers are going to buy a Cream Separator this 
Spring. The purchase of a separator is a most important investment. Great care 
should be taken to make no mistake. 
No other farm investment is of equal importance to the cream separator. 
It makes or wastes money twice every day in the year, and it may last two or 
twenty years. 
There is easily a difference of from $50- to $150- per year between the 
benefits and savings of a De Laval machine and a poor one. A De Laval 
machine lasts at least twenty years with small cost for repairs, while other machines 
last from two to ten years and cost a great deal meanwhile. 
So far as advertisements and circulars are concerned, about as much is 
claimed “on paper” for poor machines as for the De Laval. Some of the biggest 
claims are made for the poorest and trashiest machines. 
If the buyer wishes to be guided by the best experience of others and 
the best of authority he must purchase a De Laval machine, a id he can surely 
make no mistake in doing so. 
Ninety-eight per cent, of the creameries of the world, which have been 
using Cream Separators for twenty-five years, now use De Laval machines. 
Almost every prominent dairy user does so. 600,000 farmers scattered all over 
the world, or more than ten times all others combined, do so. Every important 
Exposition for twenty-five years, ending with St. Louis in 1904, has unhesitatingly 
granted Highest Honors to the De Laval machines. 
But if from any imaginable reason the buyer wants to get his own 
experience or make his own choice then let him TRY as many machines as he 
pleases, but by all means TRY a De Laval before he reaches a conclusion and 
actually invests his money in any of them. 
There are De Laval agents in every locality whose business it is to supply 
machines in this way, and who are glad of the opportunity to do so. If you 
don’t know the nearest agent send for his name and address. It will cost you 
nothing and it may save you a good deal. 
By all means don’t make the foolish mistake of sending your money in 
advance to some “mail order” concern and getting back a “scrub” separator not 
actually worth its weight in scrap-iron. If content to buy such a machine at 
least SEE and TRY it first before you part with any money.
