no complicated springs, eys, ball bear
ings or ether fittings that only an

Nor are there any parts of which
adjustment is frequently necessary to

use of a cream separator.
De Laval Cream Separators excel
other separators not only in thorough
ness of separation, sanitary cleanli-
ness, ease of running and durability
but as well i'll their great simplicity.
There is nothing about the opera
tion, cleaning, adjustment or repair of
a modern De Laval Cream Separator
which requires expert knowledge or
special tools.
A person who has never touched a
separator before can, if need be. un.
assemble modern De Laval machine
down to the last part within few
minutes and then reassemble it again
as quickly. This is something which
cannot be done outside a shop with
any other separator.
The only way to properly understand ID
and appreciate De Laval superiority 10
other separators is to look over, and
better still to try, a 1912 De Laval
machine. Every De Laval agent Is
glad to afford prospective buyers the
