Timely Warning' Against 
“MAIL ORDER” 
CREAM SEPAR ATORS 
The “Farm Implement News” of Chicago quotes the 
following good advice to dairy farmers from a lecture by 
Prof. C. E. Lee of the University of Illinois State Experi¬ 
ment Station: 
“I am not at liberty to give my preference, for I am not 
selling; separators—if I were to name a separator manu¬ 
facturer, either to you here in public or in private, I would 
lose my position—but there is one thing I desire to warn 
you farmers against and that is buying hand separators 
from the ‘mail order’ houses. Don’t do it—you will regret 
it. The machines do not k* vc results and they do not 
last. Our department receives hundreds of inquiries as to 
‘What’s the matter with my separator? It doesn’t do this 
or it doesn’t do that,’ and I tell you, gentlemen, that in 
every instance when we ask them to name their separator 
it is a ‘mail order’ house machine and almost worthless 
when it was new.” 
Don’t waste your money in a trashy separator, made 
“cheap” to sell “cheap,” that is going to WASTE instead 
of SAVE for you EVERY TIME you put milk through it, 
and which would be VERY DEAR EVEN AS A GIFT. 
DE LAVAL Cream Separators are NOT that kind. 
A DE LAVAL catalogue is to be had for the asking.
