nurTEn AND cHEEsr MAKING.
Biggest Dairy md Creamery Supply House
In the World.

Farmers throughout the country are con-
stantly making inquiries rs TO machinery
and appliances fer the making I butter and
cheese.
Areporter for Chicago paper was recently
detailed toinvestigate the subject The result
of the reporters tour was the discovery
that Chicago, which leads in so many things,
contains the largest and most complete man.
ufactory in the world for the production of
butter and cheese making machinery and
utensils. The concern is the Davis & Ran
kin Building and Manufacturing Company,
one of the well-lSnown and reliable business
institutions of Chicago, and occupies splen-
did building at 2i0 to 254 Lake street. In the
several departments of its, factory, which
occupy in the aggregate some three acres
of floor space, there is not an implement
or n piece of mechanis m, no matter how
simple or how intricate that is not made in
this wonderful establishment. Six hundred
persons, all of them, with the exception of
about dozen, skilled workmen and trained
experts, are employed. The farmer who
owns two or three cows can find here, at in
significant cost, useful devices for convert
ing his milk into marketable form, and the
community that wishes to establish acream-
cry large enough to take cSre of its entire
product is accommodated with equal facil-
lty:
The centrifugal cream separator, for sep
arating cream from milk, is as great an in
vention in its way us the sewing machine,
the reaper or the cotton gin. The Davis g.
Rankin Company manufactures these de
vices in great variety, from n low-priced,
but finely finished hand separator, worked
by means of crank, to the superb con-
trivance known as the Davis separator,
with capacities of from l,20O to 3,0O1 pounds
per hour.
For furnishing motive power this COM
pany makes an admirable engine, either hor-
izontal or upright in style, in which sim
plieity, compactness, strength, economy,
and durability are conspicuous points. This
is the only farm and dairy motor that was
awarded medal ut the Worlds Columbian
exposition.
All persons interested can do no better
than to write to the Davis & Rankin Com
pany, and obtain catalogue of their cream
cry and dairy machinery supplies. When
you come to Chicago pay them a visit and
zee one of the wonderful sights of this Won
derful city.
