MilkslwoTeatS 
Just One of the Reasons 
Why the Universal Wins Out 
^ I 'he alternate action of the Universal—milking 
two teats at a time—marks it as the last word 
in Milking Machines. 
It milks the natural way and gives a gentle, soothing 
massage that stimulates the milk flow— a. steady, even, 
alternating action found only in the 
Universal Milking Machine 
The Universal Teat Cup is another feature that 
marks the superiority of the Universal. The flex¬ 
ible rubber lining gives exactly the same gentle 
suction as the calf’s tongue, the squeeze being in¬ 
termittent and always from the bottom upwards. 
The cup fits any cow and is absolutely 
sanitary—no crevices or pockets. 
Put your dairy on an efficient basis with 
the Universal—a basis that will elim¬ 
inate the labor problem and increase 
the earning power of your dairy. 
It requires almost no attention—it is 
simplicity itself—and it will last a 
lifetime. With a Universal outfit 
one man can do the work of three 
—and do it better.
