ream Separator Offer! 
The Melotte Cream Separator-Guaranteed for 15 Years 
The Genuine French Melotte Sold in America for First Time 
nThis is positively the first bona fide, no-money-down offer ever made 
# on any cream separator. No manufacturer of any cream separator ever dared to 
make such a startling offer before. All others who have ever pretended to offer you a free trial or to 
send their separator without any money down have taken care to get something out of you first. 
But we don’t want anything . All we ask is your simple request. 
We send the cream separator direct to your farm absolutely without any money down. 
We can afford to do this because the Melotte sells itself. It has an absolute self-balancing bowl. 
We want you to read every word of this great offer. It is an offer which, 
we think, proves our absolute faith in the great Melotte Cream Separator. You are given 
the opportunity of seeing just how much cream this marvelous separator will extract from your milk 
before we ask you to send us one cent. You never saw another manufacturer who was so open-handed in his offer. The reason 
is that no other manufacturer ever wanted you to know all about his machine before paying him anything. We want you to 
know all there is to know because we know that we have the separator that is right. The principle of the Melotte has been 
proven to be right in the greatest dairying countries in the world. Now, read every word of this wonderfully liberal offer.

First Time 
Your simple word that you would like to see this cream separator in 
your own barn or dairy house brings it to you instantly. We send you the Melotte without a 
bit of quibbling or hesitancy. We neither ask nor want you to send a penny. We don’t want a cent of your 
money. The Separator goes direct to you. Vou set it up, give it a thorough test with the milk from your own 
cows. We give you a free trial that IS a free trial in every sense of the word. It is a free trial because we 
don’t ask you to pay us any money down—there is no C. O. D.—no lease nor mortgage. You keep your money 
right in your own pocket. You pay nothing to anybody. 
Some people PRETEND to give you a free trial, but they ask you to 
give them your money first. We are not afraid to let our separator speak for itself. Test the Melotte 
Cream Separator in every way, watch your profits go up, watch the increase of the amount of cream, then, 
if you do not believe that you ought to have a cream separator, just send it back at our expense. If, however, 
you decide to keep this genuine Melotte—the peer of all cream separators—the separator that gives you 
greater profits than any other—makes every cow you have give you 100% greater value and insures you 
greater profits from your dairy than you ever made.before—we will allow you to keep it on extremely easy 
MONTHLY PAYMENTS 
These payments are so small that you will hardly notice them. You 
only pay out of your increased profits. You don’t need to be without a cream separator when you 
can have the separator right in your dairy house while you are paying for it. In reality you do not pay for it 
at all. It pays for itself. 
This is what we want to demonstrate to you. We want to demonstrate 
and prove beyond all peradventure that the Melotte Cream Separator does pay for itself. Only 
a few months’ use of a Melotte Cream Separator and you will be satisfied that this statement is absolutely 
correct. A few months and the separator has paid for itself. It does not cost you a penny because the in¬ 
creased amount of cream has paid for the machine.

Melotte Runs 54 Years!! 
At the Melotte works one of the Melotte Separa¬ 
tors has been working every day (driven from the 
shafting) since Nov. 5, 1900, running 10}^ hours per 
day—or 19,687 hours at a cost of only $7.50. Reckon¬ 
ing that a farmer works his separator one hour per 
day, the 19,687 hours represent (on the farm) a period 
of 19,687 days, or nearly 54 years. Therefore, the 
total cost of maintenance for the Melotte separator 
for 54 years, inclusive of oil, will be only $7.50. At great 
trials of separators held at Boulogne, France, Oct. 5 to 9, 
1905, under the auspices of the Federated Agricultural 
Societies of the North, the Melotte easily vanquished all 
other separators—proving the cleanest skimmer and taking 
less power—and was Awarded the Gold Medal.
