If you throw a live pound note into the dre.it seems like awful extravagance, yet you may be wasting many pounds every year by using an inferior separator and think nothing of it. Buy an " Alfa-Laval" and note how your bank bilance will grow by its savings. The former leakage will then become very apparent to you. The '• Alfa Laval" will cut your bills for repairs, oil, etc., in halves and keep yo. r temper sweet and mild. This is the verdict of its half a million users throughout the world. You are not experimenting in buying an " Alfa-Laval," its record of 700 first priz« guarantees this. Catalogues mailed froe on application.
