ADVERTISEMENTS Make Sure of Your E LAVAL Cream Separator Earlyin1920 There’s no happier or bet- ter way of starting the New Year right than by making sure of a new DE LAVAL, if you are either without a cream separator or are us- ing an inferior or half- worn - out machine that should be replaced. For three years now,:- thousands of those who wanted a DE LAVAL have had to wait weeks for it and many have had to buy a second grade: separator. The demand has simply exceeded the possible supply, though more DE LAVALS have been made each year than ever before. More and better DE LAVALS will. be made this year than ever before—as many as available plant additions and. skilled workmen can produce—but the demand gives every indication of being greater still.

Perhaps the man that makes our shoes will feel his heart- strings warm, mayhap he’ll mark the prices down and maybe he’ll reform. And it may even come to pass before the year is done that other men will help to smash the profiteering Hun. It’s possible the coal man will reduce | the price of fuel, admit that 10 per cent’s enough for business as a rule. The butcher and-the baker may be stricken with remorse, and'tell the awestruck public that their work’s been awful coarse. It may be that the clothier, when sellmg you a suit, will say that half the price he asks is un- diluted loot. And all along the line, perhaps, these fellows will confess that prices are unjustified, and next year they’ll charge less. It’s possible, just possible, that these things may come true, but if it really happens I'll be more surprised than you. —C. W. V.
