The Oliver Marble and Granite
WORKS of utiand. VT.

One ofthe largest and best conducted monu-
mental establishments i'll the country, so wide
ly and favorably known for their excellent work
owe their success to the three following distin-
gushing characteristics: superiority of materi-
al artistic execution and low prices. The first
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 adYan
tage of location over all other similar establish
ments is not lost sight OF by the proprietor o.
the Works and his patrons have the full benefit
thereof in personal selection of material from
the entire product Of the quarries. BY these Sc
| leCtons, customers are always getting 1.-THE
c ream" of the en- ire twelve deposits, whose
aggre gate stock on hand, from WEIGH choice il
made, amounts to at least million of dollars
AS under this plan of personally selecting al
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 thermOre, soundness OF material is equally
well insured, which is a very important consid
craft on, involving. as ii does, to great extent
the question Of durability, which is an essenua
requisite to good work.
Inc second distinguishing feature OF these
works, and which perhaps has most contributed
TO their reputation for superior work, has beeI
justly earned by the employment Of the mos
skill ed artizans that CA be obtained, and by
coufniug the labor OF each workman to sucl
specially of work as he excelled in.
1t must be apparent to every practical mine
that, let carvers be constantly at carving, letter
ers at lettering, moulding cutters moulding
hewers hewiug pOIishers polishing, and SO OF
! through every class ihcAton Of the labor of 1
large and well ordered mandatory, the work
men must OF necessity be ever acquiring create
precision and dispatch in their respective dc
partments.
1t being the determination to sell at the loves
prices that can be afforded with a reasonable
profit, this Systematic adaptation of labor, adueC
10 their unequalied facilities in the selection o
material, makes inevitable their
Third feature, and enables them to furnish thu
very best work at the lowest possible prices.

| The constantly increasing business of tn,
works OF course, is not confined TO any particu
| lar locality or state, and tie several local deal
ers with whom IL comes in competition have M
cause of jealousy at the seeming inroads upoI
! their business. For it is a noticeable fact tina
wherever the work goes it eiClts such an in
creased interest in and demand for good work
as to fully compensate for any apparent loss Il

stimulus given to the trade and it is not pos
sible that this establishment will execute NOR,

erected in over a hundred different cemeteries

| and ability Of the works there need only b.
added good and ample evidence of integrity il
its opc rations, not only in its moned transact
