T HE test of years is unfailing. Time irre¬ 
sistibly adjusts values; upholding and 
advancing right principles, discouraging 
and doing away with the wrong. 
Thirty-two years now cover the history 
of centrifugal cream separators in America. 
The first American separators bore the 
name Sharpies. 
In this time the Sharpies enterprise has 
grown to be the greatest of its kind in the world; 
the Sharpies Separator has been accorded uni¬ 
versal recognition as representing the highest 
standard; has grown to command the widest 
and most intelligent patronage, and has contributed 
enormously to the success of the most progressive 
class of dairymen and farmers. 
The Tubular Bowl, on the remarkable efficiency 
and simplicity of which rests most largely the 
record of Sharpies progress, has long since proved, 
and is proving more widely than ever, that it is 
the final principle of scientific skimming. 
The ease of washing its three simple parts, re¬ 
quiring but a few moments, has alone been an in¬ 
calculable economy of labor in,the dairy and on the 
farm, as well as a guarantee of sanitary cleanliness. 
The same simplicity assures uninterrupted 
daily service, because of the staunchness of the 
parts; and in addition, practically laborless operation, 
due to the absence of fric¬ 
tion which is inseparable 
from complex and frail 
devices. 
Thirty-two years have 
maintained the Sharpies’ 
right Jto first place in the 
separator industry; thirty- 
two years have stamped all 
Sharpies dealings with the 
seal of integrity and truth. 
With such a record for 
the past and present the 
Sharpies Separator embra¬ 
ces a future of ever wid¬ 
ening benefit to farmers 
and dairymen—as the law 
of natural selection of the 
best operates more and 
more strongly in its favor. 
F OUR. years ago marked the opening of 
another chapter of Sharpies achievement, 
whose influence in modem dairying science 
is proving inestimable. The 
SHARPLES 
MECHANICAL 
MILKER 
I T is one thing to bring a device of revolutionary 
import to a state of perfection. It is another 
thing to introduce it into actual use widely 
enough to demonstrate its utility under all con¬ 
ditions of practical service. 
The universal confidence on the part of dairy¬ 
men in Sharpies products has enabled us to do 
in four years what might otherwise have taken a 
much longer period to accomplish—the installation 
of the mechanical milker in hundreds of the 
largest and most progressive dairies throughout 
this country and abroad. 
So that within easy distance of practically 
every dairyman, there are installations in most 
intelligent and satisfactory operation, where 
every function of the milker is wholly under¬ 
stood and rightly applied. 
Daily experience with the hundreds of herds, 
including an unusual proportion of valuable blooded 
stock, which have been reg¬ 
ularly milked with the 
Sharpies Milker, has demon¬ 
strated in four years as con¬ 
clusively as could a lifetime, 
that no problem remains un¬ 
solved either with respect to 
the welfare of the animal or the 
efficient operation of the equip¬ 
ment. 
Your personal observation 
of any of these installations will 
clearly demonstrate 
that labor is reduced 
to a third, and that a 
far cleaner and 
higher priced prod¬ 
uct is assured. 
The supreme fea¬ 
tures of the Shar¬ 
pies Milker are the 
patent Pulsator and 
the Teat Cup With 
the Upward Squeeze, 
which reproduce 
even more closely 
than manual milk¬ 
ing, the animal’s nat¬ 
ural functions — the 
cows becoming more 
contented and better 
conditioned, while 
milk production is 
fostered. 
If you have three cows or more 
and are not a user of the Sharpies Separator, 
write for Separator Catalog. 
If you milk twenty cows or more, write for the 
Sharpies Milker Catalog. Be informed.
