n keeping with the established De Laval cust- m
of making the De Lnval Cream Separators as mueh
better each year as possible, the De Laval machines for
1910 show even greater perfection than they have in
the past
The dairy farmer who buys a 1910 De Laval can
feel assured that he has by far the best Cream Sepa
rator ever made anywhere at any time.
The dairy former who lets the year or even the
month pass by without at least seeing and examining
the 1910 De Laval will be doing himself an injustice.
The opportunity of examining and trying a 1910
De Laval right at his own home is open, free of all cost
or trouble, to every dairyman who will simply say the
word.
Next to a Do Laval machine is the De Laval cata
logue, free for tho asking and containing a separator
education in itself.

AUCTIONEER
Ihave conducted more successful sales than all other
auctioneers combined in tho same territory. Don't
employ an auctioneer because he is cheap, or because
he is a good fellow, for tho chances are you will be compelled
to sell at a sacrifice and that means a loss to you. My terms
may seem a little high, but there is no one but will tell you the
prices I get will return the extra charge many times. See me
