With this time-saving: machine, you can milk your present herd in one-third the time, or with one-third your present help. For the Universal will milk three cows in the same time that you milk one. Two Double Unit Milkers will milk thirty to forty cows per hour. And a Uralve-ycar-old boy can operate them. v ? ' Milks Nature's Way $ The Universal milks fast --yet gently. It milks Nature's way--alternately milks two teats and massages two. That's why the cow always gives down her milk perfectly --with a Universal. Even a first-time-milked heifer seldom objects to being milked--by a Universal. The most confirmed kicker often becomes a contented mflker-when milked with this natural-action milking machine. _ ii And See Let urn demonstrate the Universal* Whether you have six cows or one hundred, it means better milking--in less time, with ( McHENRY GARAGE ••#.
