A postal will do—write for it today. Don’t buy until you 
see the dollars you can save in buying a New Butterfly 
Separator direct from our factory. Read this letter: 
“We arc surprised to get such a perfect machine 
at such an unheard of price. The women are in 
love with it—turns so easy—cleans so easy. The 
boys won’t touch the Sharpies and De Laval—the 
Butterfly runs so much easier.” 
Chas. F. Wey bright, Syracuse, Ind. 
That’s the secret of the success of the New Butterfly. 
It turns easier—cleans easier—skims closer and costs 
so much less. Then, it is guaranteed longer and sold 
on a “make good ” plan. We give you 
130 Days’ Trial Before You Pay. 
We put it in your home—let you use it 30 days before you pay us a cent. If 
not satisfactory you send it back—we pay all freight charges. You’ll find it a 
later, far more modern separator; simpler—has fewer parts. A woman’s 
separator In every sense of the word. So easy to care for—so easy to turn.
