Great Western Cream Seoarator

II you are in the market for a.
cream separator why not buy the best
backed up by the strongest guaran-
tee ever put on separator. Nowt
Listen! After Is years of continual
use the company will refund YOU one
half the purchase price of any Great
Western Cream Separator that will
not separate milk. 1t is the besr-
strongest and most practical, the.
most economical, it follows the laws
of nature and the laws of gravity all
at the same time. 1fyou are thinking
of buying a cream separator why not
look it over, no harm done if you
don't buy. Sold by A. NJ. Finley.
Chas Vowel says: The Great West
ern Cream Separator gives him more.
satisfaction and better results than.
any separator he has ever owned.
]. w. Bingham says: The only cost
of upkeep for the Great Western
Cream Separator is rubber bowl rings.
One satisfied customer is worth a.
dozen of the other kind.
Harry Bryant has never spent one
penny for repairs on his Great West
ern Cream Separator. 1t pays us far
mers to buy the best, the kind that.
gives the best results, and most salts
faction, and less grief and the best
profit.
Sam Shriner said: When / had nv
sale did not offer my Great Western
Cream Separator for sale at ALL 1t is
just like one of the family No ex-
pert needed at all, it is simple and
easy and the biggest paying invest
| ment I ever made.
Nick Dockenoorf don't say much.
but our guess is that you can't buy
his Great Western Cream Separator
and let him sign an agreement not to
buy another one just like it. Nick
is sane mechanic and knows good
thing.
Whoever heard of Great Western
Cream Separator selling at an auc-
tion sale? There are Great Western
Separators that have been in Trego
county in use for ten years and we
never heard of one selling at an auc-
tion-Staple as $40 gold pieces.

Comment
j. w. B.

d. w.
Table potatoes are over three dol
| lars per bushel and seed potatoes will
probably be considerable higher.
However, it remained for a Kansas
boy to demonstrate the fact a couple
of years ago that potatoes can be
raised from the sprouts the same as
sweet potatoes.
Prices continue to climb skyward
on all food products and it will not
be long until they will either go to
pieces on account of being prohibit
tive, or the poorer people will have to
be cared for at public expense.
Mem bers OF congress and the diff
ertnJ departments of state are start
ing investigations and trying to find
out something about why prices ale
so high. In the meantime if an en-
barge were placed on food stuff so
that no more OF it can be shipped out
of tile country tile nigh prices would
take tumble and it would be dis
covered that there is all kinds of feed
in this country for its inhabitants.
However, this seems to be a fine
time for spectators to make money
in this country and they are doing it
by squeezing it out of the fellows
who can't afford to pay the price yet
must have the necessities of life.
OF course it is hard on the laboring
man to be put out of job because
the factory has shut down on account
of not being able to get material or to
dispose of their finished product, but
what is bunch of US fellows going
to do who are wanting to buy auto
mobiles and are unable to get them
from the factories?
The Kansas "bone dry" law is in
effect ano very few are really mourn
ing the fact. Those who are making
the most noise about it are the mod
crate drinkers who say they can
either drink it or leave it alone-but
always drink it. Many of the period
ical drinkers are glad the law has
been enacted.
