The oliver Marble and Granite
Works of Rutland, VT.

One of the largest and best conducted monu-
mental establishments in the country, SO VIDE
ly and favorably known for excellent WORK
owes its success to the three following dis
tinguishing characteristics: superiority oil ma
terial, artistic execution, and low prlces.
The first is chiefly due to their immediate pro1-
unity to the celebrated Rutland Marble Qnar-
ries and their location on the direct ralrohd
route westward from most OF the Valuable
Granite Quarries of New England, as this i'm
portant advantage of location over all other
similar establishments is not lost sight OF by
the proprietor of the Works; and his patrons
have the full benefit thereof in personal selec-
ton of material from the entire product OF the
ouarries. Thus, customers are always getting
ssthe cream of the entire twelve deposits.
AS under this plan of personally selecting all
the material, as used, there is and can be no &C
cumulatien of inferior stock, parties may al
ways feel assured of getting only the very best
of stock in their work. Furthermore, sound
ness of material is equally well insured, which
is a very important consideration, involving, as
it does, to great extent, the question of dura-
bility, which is an essential requisite to good
work.
The second distinguishing feature OF these
works, and which perhaps has most contributed
to their reputation, has been justly earned oy
the employmeNt of the most skilled artizans
that can be obtained, and by combining the Ia
Dor of each workman to such specially OF WORK
az he exceued in Let carvers be constantly
at carving, letterers at lettering, moulding cut
tiers moulding, polishers polishing, and so on
through every classification of the labor OF a
large and wen-ordered mandatory, the work
men must of necessity be ever acquiring great
| er precision and dispatch in their respective
departments, while this systematic adaptation
of labor added to their unequalled facilities In
the selection of material, makes inevitable thelr
| 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. the services of the best talent that can
be obtained, is employed in constantly origin
ating fresh and novel designs for military and
civic monuments, tombs, hearth-stones, tab
lets, ETC., to which is invited the critical in
spection of parties desiring cemetery improve
ments.
The constantly increasing business OF the
works, of course, is not confined to any partic
ular locality or State, it's products already be-
ing erected in over q hundred different GENE
teries.
To this brief announcement of the facilities
and ability of the works, there need only De
added good and ample evidence of integrity II
its operations, not only in its monied transac
lions, but in details of manufacture with which
the customer is usually unfamiliar, and IL
which he must to great extent depend upol
the fathfulness of the builder.
Touching this point, perhaps the most salts
factory assurance thereof that can be ofere'
is the testimony of those whose orders haV
been already executed. Hence, the preprieto
begs to submit, in another column, new ex
tract in each number of this paper, from som
of the many Gathering letters that have been re
ceived during the year or so last past. Thes
will also serve to indicate localities wher
specimens of work may be inspected.
Most of these letters are from customers will
whom there had been no previous acquaint
ance, many IaI SiOs --LeEa the propri
etor has never seen, their work having beer
ordered by letter, and as a matter of course NJ
occasion for compliment beyond kindly desire
to express a favorable opinion in behalf of tbs
integrity and superior products of the
