DE LAVAL
SEPARATORS
MAKE THE
BEST BUTTER
The ono purpose of every tli inking buyer -of a cream separator
is tho making of the most and the best cream possible, whether
for home buttermaking, creamery patronage, or any other use
to which cream is put.
It is possible to "claim" almost everything for tho various
makes of cream separators, . but the one indisputable fact that
would-be competitors do not. even attempt' to got around Is tho
unquestionable superiority of tho DE LAVAL machines in tho
making of tho best butter.
Year after year, dating back to the Invention of tho "ALPHA
DISC" system of DE LAVAL bowl construction, butter made by
users of DE LAVAL machines has scored highest and won all
higher awards in every large and thoroughly representative but
ter contest throughout the world.
Beginning with the first great annual contest of tho NA
TIONAL BUTTERMAKERS ASSOCIATION in 1892 and ending
with tho 1908 contest, not only the HIGHEST but every any
where near high award has been made to users of DE LAVAL
separators and more than nine-tenths of all exhibits scoring above
90 per cent in quality have been DE LAVAL made..
THE ROLL OF HONOR
ALL DE LAVAL USERS
The First Prize winners and their scores at every convention
.of the National Buttermakers Association since its organization
in 1892 have been made as follows:
1892 Madison, Wis., Louis Brahe, Washington, Iowa . . Scoro 98.
1893 Dubuque, Iowa, C. W. Smith, Colvln's Park, 111. . . Scoro 97.

(Thoro were no conventions in i, laua ana lyub.j
In the great 1908 contest 504 of the best buttermakers in the
United States competed, with first, second and third, and all
Important awards, being made to users of DE LAVAL machines.
At each ,of the big Chicago National Dairy Shows DE LAVAL
butter has made a CLEAN SWEEP of all highest prizes, and at
the December, 1908, Show, when Instead of butter there was a
cream contest, under the supervision of the Dairy Division of the
United States Department of Agriculture at Washington, first
and second prizes in both classes were won by DE LAVAL cream.
Score 97.
Score 98.5
Scoro 98.5
Scoro 97.
Score 97.6
Going back further, DE LAVAL made butter received the
GRAND PRIZE at the ST. LOUIS WORLD'S FAIR and as well
at the last PARIS WORLD'S EXPOSITION.
In all the hundreds of important state and country contests
the world over for twenty years the superiority of the DE LAVAL
separator in the making of fine butter has been conclusively
proved.
THE EXPLANATION IS TO BE FOUND IN THE IDEAL
DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF THE DE LAVAL SEPARAT
ING BOWLS AND THE THOROUGHLY PRACTICAL CONDI
TIONS UNDER WHICH DE LAVAL MACHINES MAY BE
OPERATED AND USED.
A new 1909 DE LAVAL catalogue--affordlng an education
in this as in other features of separator knowledge is to be
had for tho asking.
