A CORNWALL DAlRYMAN's EXPERIENCE


NEW ENGLAND DREAMER CO.,
Gentlemen Il used the Cooley Cream
er" the fore part of last season; but af-
ter trial of your Blanchard cream-rais-
ing can | had no use for the Cooley. The
following facts were elected in favor of
your cream-raising can:
l. The cream was raised with greater
rapdity.
2. Greater purity of cream, for you
have no water tank to clean and get foul.
3. Only a fraction of the labor is nee
essary to raise the cream in your can.
4. 1t took only one-half the ice used
in the "Cooley" for the same number of
cows.
D. A more even temperature than
could obtain in the "Cooley Creamer.'
6. A sweet nice quality of butter.
Z. Less space, less weight, greater
ease in handling, especially less slop
and muss in the dairyroom. Your can is
certainly far ahead of the "Cooley Cream
err
8. In refrigeratng qualities; its SIM
plicity and durability.
When introduced to the public, so its
merits may be appreciated, believe that
your cream-raising can will supercede all
others on the market.
3IEYours truly,
G. II. JAMES.
