HAT’S what Mr. McKerrow did for 
twelve years previous to 1903. Then 
he bought a Tubular. When he 
discovered how wasteful he had 
been with cream, he says that he felt like “kicking 
himself. 
Listen to him: 
Herkimer, New York. 
Gentlemen:—Did you ever feel like kicking 
your own self? I have felt like that every time 1 
think of what I have been throwing away for the 
last twelve years. Six tons of butter carried to 
the hogs in that time! I made 315 pounds per 
cow in 1904, deep setting; 368 pounds per cow in 
1905, using Dairy Tubular. 53 pounds per cow 
for 20 cows makes 1060 pounds; this, at 28 cents, 
makes about $300.00. I guess the Tubular has 
paid for itself all right. Skim-milk worth double 
too. Wm. McKerrow. 
This is not an isolated case. Thousands of 
thankful families all over the globe are rejoicing 
in the possession of this profit-bringing, cream¬ 
saving machine. It seems like a friend ever after 
the first week. Even one day’s lack of use makes 
the dairyman or farmer miss it tremendously. 
Ten Things a Tubular 
Surely Doesm 
1— Runs daily for months and months without a 
hitch. One man writes that in 
three years he paid out 40 
cents for repairs. 
2 — It skims so clean we guarantee 
it to leave only one-half of that 
left by any other machine. 
3— It turns easily requiring one- 
half the power needed by 
other machines. 
4 — It will run one-half longer without clogging 
than any other machine. 
5— It delivers one-half less froth in cream than 
any other separator. 
6— Needs only a tablespoonful of oil twice a week. 
7— It requires little attention from the operator 
because every part is thoroughly tested and 
inspected by experts at our factory before 
shipping. 
8— It requires one-tenth the time in washing re¬ 
quired by any other separator. 
9— The receiving can is lowest of them all and 
most convenient to clean and adjust. 
10—A Tubular causes you no worry, fuss or muss. 
It’s just a tried and true workman that is al¬ 
ways on time; always sober. 
A Tubular Will Pay for itself 
We don’t care where you live. If you own 
eight or ten cows you can use a Tubular and pay 
for it in cream saved in a year. Buy the easiest 
machine to fill, to turn, to wash. A separator 
that skims clean, needs next to no repairs and saves 
you fuss, worry and trouble. It would pay to sell 
one of the cows and buy a Tubular. 
Putting in Milk 
No high lifting, no slipping milk pail and lost 
profits with a Tubular. T h e waist-low can 
solves the problem. Skimming is fun for the 
whole family from the six year-old up. It is a 
pleasant anticipation because the exercise is not 
exhausting and the operation is without fatigue. 
This is the way one man 
views the “high up” kind: 
“Gentlemen:—To say that 
we are pleased with our Tub¬ 
ular is putting it mildly. We 
have used a disc-filled, bucket 
bowl for several years. We find 
that we have been losing 
quite a percentage of cream 
besides ‘climbing up to the 
top of the house and pour¬ 
ing the milk down the chimney.* For ease of 
operation, rapidity, and thoroughness of separa¬ 
tion there is no comparison between the two.”

Washing a Tubular 
Only three pieces in the bowl to wash, 
all easily gotten at. Noth- 
ing to rake and scrape your 
knuckles nor skin your 
wrists and fingers. 
One man who owns a 
“bucket bowl” machine 
allows it to stand idle in his 
dairy house. That means 
$225 rusting! He uses a 
Tubular instead. Why? 
“Not for all the money in 
the Universe” says he “will 
I break my wife’s back, ruf¬ 
fle her temper or spoil her digestion by requiring 
her to wash twice a day those 35 ‘pie plates’ 365 
days in the year.” 
Fill Out the Coupon 
We have asked you questions which we suspect 
you are willing to answer. If you will fill out the 
coupon and forward to us we will see that you 
get just the treatment that will make you a last¬ 
ing friend of ours. We shall not force ourselves 
upon you to make you feel unpleasant and under 
obligations. All we ask is for you to give the 
Tubular a reasonable trial along side of as many 
other separators as you wish, or alone. If it does 
not perform as we claim, you 
needn't keep it.

Turning a Tubular 
All working parts run in oil. Every part is 
adapted so perfectly to the other that once got in 
motion it’s a joke to keep the bowl spinning. 
The oil compartment cannot possibly leak nor 
at any time allow the oil to spatter on or con¬ 
taminate cream or milk. The ma¬ 
chine takes care of itself and does 
not worry anyone with clogged 
oil holes or leaking bearings. 
Thus your] cream and butter 
are free from the remotest 
possibility of ever being re¬ 
jected because of machine- 
grease, odor or suggestion 
of rancidity. This one fea¬ 
ture saves you much worry.

EXAMINED ALL—CHOSE TUBULAR. 
v m BUSSEY, IOWA, Aug. 19th, 1907. 
• * onr No-. 2 Tubular is the finest thing in the separator world. For easiest running, closest skim¬ 
ming and Quickest cleaning, would not do without it for ten times its cost. It is surely the easiest taken 
apart andthe quickest put together of any separator ever made, and we examined all of them before 
tiuying. We cannot say too much in its favor. You will hear from us again in this line. Our separator is 
going to make you many customers in this neighborhood. F.J. Marmon, Mgr. Arlington Heights Dairy.
