Their ____, 
Yours To Profit By 
The McKay farm is but one of the 
thousands of big dairy farms in the 
country where the Universal has dis¬ 
placed the old, expensive practice of 
hand milking— has solved the labor 
problem, cut milking time two-thirds, and 
is giving the dairy farmer bigger profits, 
cleaner milk and more time for other work. 
Your problems were McKay Brothers’ prob¬ 
lems. They used to milk their herd by hand. 
They tried out various milking machines. They 
finally discovered in the Universal, the one ma¬ 
chine without a flaw- the machine they are using 
now—the machine that is saving them time, labor 
and dollars every day in the year. Here, in this 
letter, they give you the benefit of their experi¬ 
ence. Are you going to profit by it?

This Famous Pure-Bred Holstein 
Milked By Universal 
Nutula Queen Polkadot 1H, pictured here, is one of the famous 
Holsteins of the McKay herd that is being milked by a Univer¬ 
sal. This cow, one of the highest testing Holsteins in the 
country, with a record of 17,529 lbs. of milk and 664.1 lbs. of but- 
terfat.is the sister of Tilly Alcartra, the world’ sgreatest cow-, 
also of the McKay Herd. 
The fact that on this high-priced herd, the Universal is being 
used with utmost satisfaction, twice a day, every day in the 
year, is guarantee that your herd is 100% safe when milked 
with this machine.

Cuts Milking Time Two Thirds 
If it takes you three hours a day to milk 
your herd at the present time by hand, you 
can milk that herd in an hour with the Univer¬ 
sal. For this efficient, time-saving machine 
milks three cows while you are milking 
one by hand. Think of the extra working 
days that would add in a years’ time! 
Saves Labor 
One man with a Uni¬ 
versal can do the work 
of three men milking 
by hand — with less 
effort and in the same 
time. This does away 
with extra hired help 
or releases it for other work in the field. 
Whether you milk six cows or a hundred, 
the Universal means a cleaner, better job 
of milking than by any other method. 
It will prove one of the biggest labor-saving, 
highest-profit investments you can possibly make. 
ALTERNATES 
Like Milking With Hands 
The Universal not only does a better, cleaner 
job of milking, with less help at lower cost— 
but it milks your cows the natural way-- 
two teats at once instead of four. 
First, a gentle milking suction—just enough—on two of 
the teats. At the same time, the other two are resting and 
being gently massaged. Then the action is reversed. Gentle 
suction--soothing massage- -that’s the Universal action. 
And it is so natural, so calf-like that the cow gives down 
her milk perfectly with this alternating-action machine. In 
a gre at many cases, the milk flow actually has been in¬ 
creased by the use of this natural milker. 
Has The Perfect Teat Cup 
The teat cup is the part that really does the milking. On 
its action depends the success of the milker. That is why 
the Universal excels. It has the perfect teat cup. 
The conical shaped rubber 
liner, soft and flexible as the 
calf’s mouth, actually dupli¬ 
cates the action of the calf 
sucking—gives a gentle suc¬ 
tion, then a soothing massage. 
Cannot fold or pinch. And it 
fits any normal size teat with¬ 
out adjusting. The metal 
shell has no seams or pockets 
to get dirty. Topped with a 
soft rubber ring, it has no 
cold metal part to touch the cow. Simple in construction, 
it is extremely easy to keep clean.
