Coos County Ranchers Can Save $10 on Every
Cow They Own
A De Laval Cream Separator
will save $10.00 to $15.00 per cow each year over any
gravity setting process or dilution system of shim
ming milk, and $3.00 to $5.00 over any other cream
separator.
Ts there any other machine used upon the farm
that will pay you anywhere near as well?
Thero aro many farmers in all parts of Coos Coun
ty who can and will testify to tho correctness of tho
a'bovo statement. You will do tho same, no matter
who.hov von own ono cow or ono thousand, after you
5 have experienced the benefits" it will confer upon you
at the end ot oven one wceics use.
This saving is brought about by tho universal law,
of a greater quantity and a better quality produced
at less cost, upon wliieh a great value is placed. This
is tho rulo followed in any manufacturing business.
Dairying is manufacturing, and this same law applies
twofold in tho production of butter.
