COLDWATER KANSAS AT the Illinois State Fair in 1920, Mrs. Ada Willbanks, a Primrose cream separator user, won the Grand Champion' butter prize. At the Peoria, (111.) District Fair the same year, Primrose users won first, second and third butter prizes. In 1921 Primrose users took first, second and third prizes for cream at the Illinois State Fair. Doesn't this prove that the Primrose skims cream of the highest butter-making quality? Now to cap the climax, the State of California awards the Primrose a Gold Medal for the most perfectly constructed cream separator.

It costs no more to own the best cream separator in fact, it costs less to own a Primrose than some other separators considered among the best. Come in and let us tell you the many reasons why the Primrose skims cream in the "extras" class, why it turns easier, is easier to wash, and lasts much longer than the average machine.
