Tke Recognized Standard 
N early every field of endeavor 
has its recognized standard—one 
manufacturer’s goods that always 
loom up first in your mind when a 
product of its nature is mentioned. 
It’s true of cameras, pianos, locks, 
crackers, speedometers, watches and 
a host of other products. 
And it’s true of Milking Machines. 
Visit the homes of prize winning stock 
of all breeds, go to the dairy farms 
whose chief object is the production 
of large quantities of milk or go to the small 
farmer who has only a limited number of 
cows. Everywhere you’ll find the dominat¬ 
ing milking machine to be the Empire. 
Our 1918 Catalog No, 23 , will tell you why 
or, if you choose, the local Empire dealer will 
demonstrate why. No charge or obligation.
