TNHE GRANGER CHURN,
i a new invention,
Makes the best of butter
With the least attention.
Now all good dairymen,
Who would a reputation earn,
Should make their butter
In the Granger Churn.
It makes more butter
From the same amount of cream
Than any other Churn
That ever was seen.
And it makes it so yellow,
With such excellent taste,
1t is the pride of the seller,
For it sells in such haste.
The groceTs all want it
The butter 1 mean
To supply all their customers,
From laborer to queen.
1t will churn in five minutes,
l am happy to say,
And does not waste time
Like the Old-fashioned way.
Those that have tried it
Speak in plimentary terms
And say they will use it
In preference to all other Churns.
