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, mas Deen
| Justly earned by the employing ht Oh tne most
skilled artizans that can be obtained, ana py
combining the labor of each workman TO sucn
specialty of work as he excelled in.
It must be apparent to every practical mino
| that, let carvers be constantly at carving, iet
terers at lettering, moulding cutters moaiolng,
hewers hewing, polishsrs polishing, and SO on
| through every classification OF the labor OF a
| large and well-ordered mandatory, the work
men must of necessity be ever acquiring great
er pr. cision and dispatch in their respective

| 1t being the determination to sell at the low
est prices that can be afforded with reasona
BILE profit, this systematic adaptation OF LABOR,
a 1aI

Third feature and enables them to furnish
the very best work at the lowest possible
prices.
In order TO fully meet the demand 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 confined to any partlc
ular locality or State, and the several local
dealers with whom it comes in competition
have no cause of jealousy at the seeming In
roads upon their business. For 1t is notlce-
able fact that wherever the work goe3 II elleits
such an increased interest in and demand for
good work, as TO fully compensate for any ap-
parent loss to other dealers in individual cases,
by the general stimulus given to the trade;
will execute more than minor portion OF the
work required throughout the large and widen
ing field II is being distributed, its products
already being erected in over hundred alner-
ent cemeteries.
10 THIS bIlCf ann0un cement of tho facilities
and ability of the works, there need only be
added good and ample evidence OF integrity in
its operations, not only in its monied traDsac-
lions, but in details of manufacture with which
the customer is usually unfamiliar, and in
which he must to great extent depend upon
the faithfulness of the builder.
Touching this point, perhaps the most salts
factory assurance thereof that can be offered
is the testimony of those whose orders have
been already executed by these works, the
deeds of the past being the best guaranty for
the future. Hence, that parties who favor the
establishment with their orders may feel as
sured of fair dealing, and of receiving only the
best of work, the proprietor begs to submit, IN
another column, new extract in each number
of this paper, from some of the many fattering
letters that have been received during the year
or so last past. These will also serve to indi-
cate localities where specimens of work may
be inspected.
Most of these letters are from customers with
whom there had been no previous acquaint-
ance, several being from parties whom the pro-
prietor has never seen, their work having been
ordered by letter, and as a matter of course no
occasion for compliment beyond kindly desire
to express a favorable opinion in behalf of the
integrity and superior products of the
RUTLAND MARBLE & GRANITE WORKS.
