In practically every case such buyers lose from 10 to 50 cents a day through the use of an in- ferior separator. -That means from $36.50 to $182.50 a year —and not only for the first year but for every year the separator con- tinues in use. Twice a Day=Every Day in the Year It should always be remembered that the cream sep- arator saves or wastes in quantity and quality of product, and in time and labor, twice-a-day every day in the-year.
