Star Barn Equipment with “Unit System” 
of construction is a step in advance in sanitary 
barn equipment building. It was designed by 
practical dairymen who saw the need for just 
the distinctive advantages it affords the average 
dairy farm. 
Thousands of dairymen who have installed it in 
preference to all others testify to its wonderful merit based on 
knowledge of the “Unit System” in practical use in their own 
dairy barns. How much is their word worth to you?

How “Unit System 
Means Clean Stalls 
The “Unit Sys¬ 
tem” of construc¬ 
tion provides for 
' each stall being 
built individually—each stall independent of the 
one next to it. The entire front of the Star Stall— 
the arch that contains the stanchion—can be moved 
forward or backward so all cows—long, short or 
medium—are lined evenly at the rear. This makes 
possible the correct and only safe Alignment Device. 
It’s just the same as having each stall built to 
order to accommodate each cow according to her 
length and how she stands and lies in the stall. For 
that alone governs the cleanliness of the stall and 
animal, on which in turn depend so much the 
cleanliness and high quality of the milk. No other 
method is half so effective for aligning of all cows 
evenly at the gutter. 
Giant Star Lock 
A correct exclusive Star principle 
for locking the stanchion. The two 
uprights are always connected at the top 
instead of being loose and disjointed. 
When the stanchion is opened the locking 
portion is always guided true, thus elimi¬ 
nating all strain on the hinge at the bot¬ 
tom of the stanchion. A simple push with 
the hand locks it. 
Why “Unit System” 
Is Most Economical 
I The “Unit System” 
Star Stall is most 
economical because 
you can buy your 
herd in units of one 
twenty or a hundred, 
as your herd grows— 
“Unit System” makes 
less stalls than you 
How “Unit System” Is 
Strong and Substantial 
stalls to care for your present 
stall, two, three, five, six, ten, 
And you can add to your stalls 
one at a time if you wish. The 
it unnecessary to buy more or 
actually need. 
Then with the Star “Unit System” Stall you can 
save fully one-third to one-half the expense of instal¬ 
ling, as each stall comes to you completely assembled 
and all ready to set up in your barn. Each complete 
stall fits into place without elaborate preparatory 
work. Simply set anchor bolts into the concrete curb 
and leave a hole in the platform for the stall partition 
which is afterwards filled with rich cement. 
Giant Star Stanchions 
Adjustable in Width 
The Star 
“Unit System” 
Stall is most 
" substantial be¬ 
cause each stall is built individually and is a com¬ 
plete unit. It is separately imbedded (> inches to S 
inches into concrete at four points, giving it much 
greater strength than is actually required and mak¬ 
ing it very strong and rigid, and sufficient to with¬ 
stand ten times more strain than will ever be put 
upon it in actual use. 
The Star “Unit System” Stall is thoroughly sani¬ 
tary because the stall arch is one continuous piece 
of smooth steel tubing. It is very easy to keep clean 
because there are no dirt or germ catching parts. 
Remember, Star Barn equipment is the only 
equipment made on the “Unit System” principle—it is the 
only equipment that gives you all of the “Unit System” 
advantages. 
Wood Lined Stanchions 
Giant Star Stanchions are unique in that they 
are adjustable in neck space and can therefore be 
widened to fit the thick necks of Du i lia 111s, Shorthorns or 
bulls. Also they can be narrowed to fit the slender necks 
of Jerseys, Guernseys, Ilolsteins, yearlings or two-year-olds. 
It means comfort to the stock because each stanchion fits 
each cow’s neck—never too tight or too loose. 
The wood lining on the Giant Star 
Stanchion is a solid piece of kiln-dried, 
non-shrinkable, maple, 1 y 2 inches 
thick, which is fitted accurately into 
the U-shaped steel upright of the stanchion, 
thereby strengthening it and forming a 
smooth surface for the cow’s neck.
