J. F. McWhorter & Son, Middletown, Del.
Gentlemen:—The American Separator I bought in September, 1897, Is a boss machine. It
. ™ e Perfect satisfaction and done everything you claimed for it, and more. When I
bought it I was using a Reid Creamery, it increased my butter more than a pound on every
1(H) pounds of milk over the creamery; it. also improved tbe quality of the butter. My machine
has been used every day since I bought it, has never been out ot order and does not show any
wear: is very easy to operate and much less work than a creamery. Is just the thing for
mlsiug calves, the calves I have raised since I had the Separator have had nothing but milk
«Î2 * e does not leave any cream in the milk. I have tried setting the skimmed
milk in pans but have never found any cream. I have made an average, as near as I can tell,
5 pounds or a little over of batter to every hundred pounds of milk. I would advise any one
interested in making butter to buy an American Separator, and will say if I could not buy
another American Separator I would not think of selling mine at double the price I paid for it.
You can show this letter to anyone you like and give me for reference.
Yours respt'y, HENRY CATTS.

Dear Sirs: —The American Separator I bought from you is a good machine and will do all
you claim for it: it increased my butter more than a pound per week on each cow that I was
milking. I have had some experience with other makes, but like the American mach better
than any I have seen or tried, I consider it the lightest running machine on the market and
the easiest to clean and operate, I would not part with mine ill could not get another, and I
would advise anyone going to buy to get the American.
Yours truly,
lias

Gentlemen:—The American Separator I bought from you in June is all right, it has done
rything you claim lor tt, and more; It increased my butter one pound per week on «ch
cow I wae milking, and my customers think it better butter. It saves tally one half the work
of the old method of making butter, it takes all the cream from the milk without doubt; I find
it quite an advantage in ralsiDg calves, also hogs; l think in these two alone I will this yeai
make half the price of the machine. I paid Î65 for my machine, but would not ta ke a $100 if 1
could not get another American. Yours, Ac., W. B. FORD.

Gents:—Yours received, and will say in reply that we are very well pleased with the
American Separator, we had a little trouble at first as we had never had any experience with
a separator, but we are all right now and think » do« everything you claim for ft. My butter
is better than when I used creamery and is mnch le« work; it takes every particle of cream
from the milk, and is very little work to clean and keep in order. Will close by saying once
more, that we are w'ell pleased with It

Dear Sirs:—Your letter received asking me to write you what I thought of the Americas
Separator I bought from you in April. Wifi say It Is all right and if I could not get another I
would not take three tim« what I gave you for it; they will skim perfectly clean and make
grand, sweet butter. When I bought the Separator I was milking 12 cows and maktag about
40 pounds of butter per week, tbe first week I used the Separator It Increased my butter to 60
pounds (a clear gain of 20 ponnds). It Is very easy to clean and no trouble to operate, and
saves lots of work, and is a very light running machine. Wishing you success with the
Separator,
I am yours truly,
