Are there cracks in the side that have been puttied up in order fco make you think you are getting your money's worth? Are there knots and defective blotches in every part under the paint? If your buggy is a Stayer, you could scrape off every particle of point and more than that., take every portion of the body and examine it thoroughly and you could not say that the buggy is not what it is represented to bethe best in the buggy line. The Staver buggy is In a distinctive class of its own. The manufactur ers do not wait until some other firm has put out an improvement and then endeavor to copy that im provement. They are generally the first to add a new style to their line. When you buy c SUver, you do not get a copy, you get the original. Staver gears are made of the best air dried seasoned hickory. Reaches are ironed on both sides full length. Staver springs ere of the best quality oil tempered graded steel and are thoroughly tested before sent out. Woodwork is primed with lead and oil and rubbed in the wood by hand, giving it a durable, handsome fiinish. -:- -:- -:- -:- -:- -:- .;. .:. MAKING CREAM SEPARATOR HISTORY The year 1908 will mark an important period in centrifugal Cream Separators. Probably never again will such a lare num ber of valuable Seperator improvements be brought forth as are now shown in ,the new improved 1908 De Laval machines. After thirty years of ceasless testing and experimenting, the really perfect Cream Separator has at last been produced in the New De Laval. Nothing anywhere near like it has ever been made before and all who have seen and examined it marvel at the great degree perfection attained in every feature of the machine from the supply can Xo the base. Although the improved De Laval has only recently been placed on the market it is already SWEEPING ALL COMPETITION ASIDE and experienced buvers everywhere are saying of it "YOU DON'T CLAIM NEARLY ENOUGH." The many new De Laval improvements are of almost equal importance with the invention of the separa tor itself and must be seen to be fully appreciated. To this end you may have a free demonstration of the machine in your own home for the asking. Mr. W. P Kirchem, the agent for Oregon City, has arranged with FRANK BUSCH to have one of the machines in his store where the merits can be fully examined and catalogues b ob tained.
