splendid French machine. We do not ask you to pay us one penny down.

One MELOTTE 
Runs 54 Years 
At the Melotte works one of the 
Melotte Separators has been working 
every day (driven from the shafting) 
since Nov. 5,1900, running 10^2 hrs. 
per day—or 19,687 hours at a cost of 
only §7.50. Reckoning 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 Agricul¬ 
tural 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. 
MELOTTE 
Sent Without a Penny Down 
We make this remarkable offer because we know 
that if you test the Melotte you will never use anything else. 
The Melotte is the foremost separator in Europe, and in 
Europe—as you know—machines are built better. The 
finest mechanics in the world are obtained in Europe. If 
everyone in America knew what the Melotte can do we 
could not import them fast enough. There is no guess work 
on our part. We absolutely know what it will do. 
We want to show you what it will do. There is only one 
way for you to find out. Let us send it to you at once. It 
costs you nothing to get it. It will cost you nothing to 
send it back. No matter what separator you have used we 
will put this world-renowned machine against it. You are to be the only 
judge. If it does not do all we say—send it back. We pay the freight 
both ways. There will be nothing to explain on your part. We merely 
want you to have a demonstration of this perfectly built machine. 
No manufacturer of cream separators ever dared 
to make such an offer before. For no other separator could 
stand the tests the Melotte can stand. There are no conditions at¬ 
tached to this offer. Just fill out the coupon and send it in. 
Keep These Points in Mind 
The Melotte is a single bearing separator. All others 
have two bearings. The two-bearing separators are bound to be slightly 
out of alignment, and therefore the vibration makes rapid wear. Differ- 
ces of speed affect the adjustment of two bearings, throwing them out of 
alignment. The Melotte bearing hangs down and spins like a top. Self¬ 
balancing at all speeds. We guarantee the 600 lb. Melotte 
will turn easier than any other separator only half its weight. 
The milk and cream chambers are made of white bathtub enamel, Discs are 
easily cleaned, are not marked and can be assembled in any order. The bowl is 
self-draining. The Melotte is the largest selling separator in the world (except in 
the U. S.). It is different from any separator made in the U.S., differ¬ 
ent from any separator you ever saw. 
We Make This Great Offer for a Limited Time Only 
fe ^Get the separator on your tarm—then you will see how thoroughly butter 
is removed by the Melotte. We tell you that you will be amazed. You really cannot 
jt^^afford to fail to try this wonderful machine. When we make such an ultra-liberal offer, 
of course we freely admit we could not make such an offer on any other cream separator. 
^^Smali Monthly Payments wonderful machine we will sell it to you on 
small 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. You can use it while paying for it. In reality it pays for itself.
