A well-to-do Dairy FABMEK is usually a good one—well-to-do because ho is a practical man, who realises tho great money-making qualities of modern dairying methods. Men like this make fortunes out of farming, and live in far greater comfort than the farmers who stick to the old-fashioned way of working their farms. A large amount of money can be saved annually by the use of a good Milking Machine, driven by an "Anderson" Oil Engine. This is a reliable engine in every respect, and is a great economiser of time and labour. Every "Anderson" is subjected to the niost rigid tests before leaving the works in Christchurch, so that yen can place the utmost reliance upon your engine under flll conditions. Instal a dependable "Anderson" Oil Engine with your Milking Plant. Andersons, Ltd., Christchurch. -Advt.
