DON'T CONFUSE the INTERLOCKING Style of UNITED STATES CREAM SEPARATOR with older models. The U. S. Interlocking Cream Sep arator represents the highest attainment in cream separator construction and possesses ftVPrV MRPntinl SPniiriltnP FMIItir.m.nt in .Via highest known degree.

It gives practically double the skimming surface and does about twice the work of older models. 4. It keeps the milk and cream entirely apart and affords a protected path for the cream. 5. It is operated with about half the power of older models. 6. ' It is easiest and quickest washed by the same centrifugal force which ikimmed the milk. 7. It skims cleanest. For clean skimming the U.
