The oliver Marble and GRANITE
Works of Rutland, w.

One ofthe largest and best conducted monu-
mental establishments in the country, so wide
lv and fayorably known for their excellent work,
ov,. THAR success 10 the three following distin-
u11isbing characteristics: superiority OF materl
al artistic execution and low prices. Inc LIS
ia chiefly due to their immediate proximity "
the celebrated Rutland Marble Quarrles, Anu
their location on the direct railroad route west
ward from most of the valuable Granite Quar
ries of New England as this important adVah
taye of location over all other similar esLaollsh
rnents is not lost sight of by the proprietor OF
the Works and his patrons have the full oenent
thereof in personal selection of material from
the entire product of the quarries. BY these Sc
lections, customers are always getting tine
resm" of the en- ire twelve deposits, whose
aggregate stock on hand, from WEIGH choice is
made amounts to at least a million of dollars.
AS under this plan of personally selecting all
the material used, there is and can be no accu-
mutation Of inferior stock, to be afterwards dis
posed OF, parties may always feel assured of get
ting only the very best of stock in their work.
Fur the rmore, souudness OF material is equally
W ell insured, which is a very important consid-
craft on involving, as il does, to great extent,
the question OF durability, which is an essential
requisite to good work.
The second distinguishing feature OF these
works, and which perhaps has most contributed
to their reputation for superior work, has been
justly earned by n, employment of the most
ski. ed africans that be obtained, and by
combining the labor OF each workman to such
| specially of work as he excelled in.
1t must be apparent to every practical mind
that let carvers be constantly at carving, letter
ers at lettering, moulding cutters moulding,
hewers h, wing, polishers polishing, and so on
through every classification of the labor OF
| large and well ordered mandatory, the work
men must OF necessity be ever acquiring greater
precision and dispatch in their respective de-
partments.
1t being the determination to sell at the lowest
prices that can be afforded with a reasonable
profit, this systematic adaptation Of labor, added
to their unequalled facilities in the selection of
maUerIaI nnahU9 iU-"is tI>~ir
Third feature, and enables them to IurnIsn Jne
| very best work at the lowest possible prices.
| In order to fully meet the de mand of the
times, and that the work may add variety and
new attractions to the several localities in
which it is erected, the services of the best tai
ent that can be obtained, is employed in con-
| stantly originating fresh and novel designs for
military and civic monuments, tOmbs, hearth
stones, tablets, etc, TO which Is invited the
critical inspection OF parties desiring cemetery
! improvements.
| The constantly increasing business of the
works, OF course, is not conuned to any particu-
lar locality state, and the several local deal
! ers with whom il comes in competition have no
cause of jealousy at the seeming inroads upon
| their business For it is noticeable fact that
wherever the work goes it e4iCits such an in
creased interest in and demand Tor good work,
as TO fully compensate for any apparent loss to
other dealer in individual cases, by the general
\ stimulus given to ths trade and it is not pos
sible that this establishment viii execute more
than d minor portion OF the work required
throughout the large and widening field it is be-
! ing distributed, its products already being
erected in over d hundred different cemeteries
| 10 this brief announcement of the facilities
and ability OF the works there need only be
| added good and ample evidence of integrity in
| It's operations, not only III It's monied transact
| lOus, but IL details OF manufacture with which
the customer IL usually unfamiliar and III which

| aCtory assurance tucrcOI that can be offered, Is
