TEse Oliver Marble and GRANITE
WORKS of Rutland. Vt.

One ofthe largest and best conducted monu-
mental establishments in the country, so wide
" and favorably known for their excellent work,
owe their success to the three following distin-
onisbino characteristics superiority of materi-
al, artistic execution and low prices. lug nis'
is chiefly due to their immediate proximity TO
the Celebrated Rutland Marble Quarries, and
their location on the direct railroad route west
ward from most of the valuable GRANITE GUAR
ries of New England, as this important advan-
tage of location over all other similar establish
nents is not lost sight of by the proprietor OF
the Works and his patrons have the null dement,
thereof in personal selection of material from
the entire product of the quarries. By these Sc
Iectfons, customers are always getting 1.-THE
cream of the entire twelve deposits, whose
aggregate stock on hand, from WEIGH choice is
made. amounts to at least 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, soundness OF material ts 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, ha been
justly earned by The employment of the most
skilled artizans that eau be obtained, and by
combining the labor of each workman to such
specially of work as he exceled in.
1t must be apparent to every practical mind
that let Carvers be constantly at carving, letter
crs at lettering, moulding cutters moulding,
heWers hewing, 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 reasonable
profit, this systematic adaptation Of labor, added
their unequalled facilities in the selection of
material, makes inevitable their
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 il con-
stantly originating fresh and novel designs for
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 particu-
lar locality or state, and the several local deal
ers with whom ii comes in competition have no
cause Of jealousy AT the seeming inroads upon
their business For it is a noticeable fact that

creased interest in and demand for good work,
as to fully compensate for any apparent loss TO
other dealers III individual cases, by tho general
stimulus given to this trace ; and it Is not pos
sIblv that this establishment will execute more
