"Every why bath a wherefore," quoth Shakespeare. Therefore, there is a reason why you should install a "Victor" Vat in your cheese factory. "Victor" Vats aro the cheeseraan's help, giving that assistance whioli is so essential to the production of first quality cheese. The sloping bottom and centre drainage ensure a free (low of whey, leaving tho curd high and dry. A "Victor" means bigger profits, too. Get particulars. A. J.
