offered oy any catalogue house, II you

not furnish good, reliable, serviceable
articles at the prices they name, and
must push off upon the public, shoduy
and cheap stuff. You cannot get some

obe Fitch Cream Separator.

0be Fitch Cream Separator.
II you're running a dairy-be there
one COW or one hundred-your profit
depends upon the quality Of cream you
are getting.
IL you aren't getting all the cream
there is in your milk, your losing just
that much money.
BY the old system OF milk setting you
lose from ten 10 twenty per cent OF the
cream, besides doing lot OF unneces-
sary work.
And thst ism a |.
What cream you do get is not of the
best quality-often dusty, and possess
ing none of the natural sweet flavor.
Then too the skim milk is often cur
died, making 1t almost useless.
But with the new system OF cream
separation all these faults are done
away with.
Cold water is added to the warm
milk and the sudden change In temp
arature and con .istency causes the
cream and milk tn separate; and be-
cause of the cream being the lighter
il is forced to the top
Then the milk is drawn off from the
bottom and the pure cream Is left.
You get all the cream in an hour
after milking, your skim milk is sweet
and clean, the ream is smooth, sweet,
firm and clean and requires less than
half the time formerly required TO
churn it.
The butter is better, sweeter, and
you get from ten TO twenty percent.
more OF it.
No pans, no crooks or milk cans
needed, no extra labor, no waste
cream.
The Fitch" Cream Separator uses
no chemicals, requires no labor after
you put the milk and water in it,
1t will separate one gallon as well as
twenty.
You don't have to turn crank or use
any power whatever.
Nature does the work. You make
the profit
1t is cheaper than pans, crooks or
jars.
1t is easier to keep clean than any
separator on the market
Having no tubes or valves it can't
get out of order

The Differences.

We locate in II town, buy or rent IA
home, support our family, afford ny
the producer a home market for his
products, contribute to churches,
schools, local taxes, good roads, public
local enterprises, employ the farmers
sons and daughters in our stores, shoI $
schools and Offices, thereby aiding them
in obtaining knowledge Of business
methods and an individual start in the
business world.
We are continually striving TO bene-
fit, build up and beautify our local
community and surroundings. Our
business success depends entirely upon
winning the confidence, good will,
friendship patronage of our neigh
bors, their success and prosperity be-
comes necessity 10 the home mer-
chant. The price OF the farmer, land
and the desireability and pleasures cl
his home is measured by his distance
from live, hustling town, good schools
roads and markets.
History plainly shows that when for
any cause town is on the decline,
every land owner, every local interest
and resident suffers in proportion, and
we 90 up ana down together.
Is IL wonder then that the home
merchant sends warning 10 his rural
friends when the slick tongued lightn
ing rod agent, range peddler, buggy
trailer, patent right swindler, quuck
doctor, sewing machine agent, piano
sharper or others Of his kind appears
with his friendly smile, and tempting
allurements TO ob the farmer out Of
his hard earned cash, making money
scarce and thereby inJuri1g local busl-
ness?
The wrecks caused by these rascals
line every roadway, and yet they still
find victims daily, at every phrase Of
the transaction the farm is impressed
with the Importance Of secrecy.

purchased from US there will be no
mark on any box or package TO tell
where you bought the goods. Every
transaction will be treated as strictly
