Some of the Finest Dairy Cows in the World 
Are Milked by the Sharpies Milker 
T HE SHARPLES MILKER has no fa¬ 
vorites. Any breed or grade of cows can 
be easily, successfully and economically 
milked by it —far more efficiently than by hand. 
It is a fact that the 
Sharpies Milker is used 
on some the leading 
dairies in the country— 
dairies in which are cows 
of national reputation; 
dairies whose methods 
and results place them 
easily first among Ameri¬ 
can milk and butter pro¬ 
ducers. 
At the famous White Horse Farms, Paoli, Pennsylvania, 
one of the finest and best-known herds of Jerseys is milked 
twice daily by the Sharpies Milker. 
Branford Farms, of Groton, Connecticut, uses the Shar¬ 
pies Milker daily on their superb, pure-bred Ayrshires and 
Guernseys. 
The well-known Pohl herd of Holsteins, familiar to every 
New York dairyman, is milked by the Sharpies Milker. 
And so on—the list of Sharpies users embracing dairies in 
every part of the United States and many sections of Canada. 
These dairies, owned and managed by men of keen ability, 
have adopted the Sharpies Milker because of its cleanliness, 
its great saving of time and labor, its wonderful economy, and 
its general uniformity and durability. 
The Sharpies Milker is quickly and easily cleaned after 
each operation. Its parts that come in contact with the milk 
are few and simple. This means milk that is almost entirely 
free from contamination, as no stable air or dirt can get into 
the Sharpies Vacuum Can. 
With the Sharpies Milker, the force of hired milkers can 
be reduced two-thirds. One man does the work of three, and 
does it better. The slow, tedious, disagreeable drudgery of 
hand milking is eliminated. Employees are more contented. 
And the saving in salaries alone will pay for the installation 
of the Milker in a short time. 
Cows take kindly to the Sharpies Milker, standing more 
quietly and contentedly 
than when milked by 
hand. Its action is regu¬ 
lar and gentle, fostering 
milk production and keep¬ 
ing teats and udders in 
perfection condition. 
This is due to the 
“Sharpies Teat Cups with 
the Upward Squeeze.” 
Over fifty thousand 
cows are being milked daily by the Sharpies Milker. This 
fact alone should convince. 
Write for the Milker Book. It tells what other dairymen have done with 
the SHARPLES MILKER. It is free on request to every cow owner, 
SHARPLES SEPARATOR 
The first American separator—and, for thirty-two years, 
the foremost mechanical skimming device. 
The man who owns a Sharpies is invariably proud of it. 
He knows that he has a separator whose performance he can 
depend upon, whose reputation is based on fundamentally cor¬ 
rect principles and superb quality of material and workman¬ 
ship. 
There is a satisfaction in the posession of a Sharpies Sepa¬ 
rator whose source is other than its close skimming ability and 
economy of operation. It lies in the conscious knowledge of 
superiority—in the certainty of lasting goodness.
