Government Report makes plain your need of a NITED STATE CREAM SEPARATOR With Guaranteed Non-rusting Skimming Device u The Scientific Staff of the Dairy Division in the United States Department of Agricul ture recently conducted a series of experiments to learn what effect, if any, iron (rust) has on cream and butter. The tests definitely established thefactthatevenminuteparticles of iron (rust) caused certain undesir able flavors and that in every in . stance when butter was scored a few days after the making, the samples in which iron (rust) was present scored lower than the butter made from cream which contained no iron (rust). . In using the United States Cream Separator with non-rusting skimming sections of solid nickel silver you avoid all risk of cream and butter with an "off" flavor. The U.S. skimming sections are positively guaranteed never to rust. No other separator manufac turer gives you a printed non-rusting guarantee.
