A RECORD HAND MACHINE, The following letter from Mr F. W. Alexander of Tauranga, is a sample of dozens of testimonials received by the agents for the Baltic separator : ‘ I have used a Baltic separator of 40 gallons capacity for two seasons, and it has given every satisfaction. This is a real good little machine, easy to turn, takes the full quantity claimed, very simple, and the upkeep for two seasons has only been the cost for oil. Tests of skim milk by the factory manager have been under .02, which I consider must be a record for a hand machine,” MacEvrau and Co., sole agents, Fortstreet, Auckland.
