The oliver Marble and Granite
Works OF Rutland. VT.

One of the largest and best conducted NOM.
mental establishments in the country, 30 wide
" and favorably known for excellent work
owes it, success to the three following dis
tinguishing characteristics: superiority Of ma
teriRl, artistic execution, and low prices.
The first is chiefly due to their immediate prox.
unity to the celebrated Rutland Marble Quar-.
riee, and their location on the direct railroad
route westward from most OF the valuable
Granite ouarries 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
uuarries. 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
emulation of inferior stock, parties may al
ways feel assured of getting only the very beet
Of stock in their work. Furthermore, sound
ness of material is equally well insured, which
is q very important consideration, involving, az
1t does, to great extent, the question OF dura'
bility, which is an essential requisite to good
work. ..e~ a.... .s.
The second distinguishing feature OF these
works, and which perhaps has most contributes
| to their reputation, has been justly earned by
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
as he excelled 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 well-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 their
Third feature, and enables them to furnish
the very best work at the lowest possible
prices.
La order to fully meet the demand OF the
times, the services of the best talent that car
be obtained, ia employed in constantly origin
ating fresh and novel designs for military snc
civic monuments, tombs, hearth-stones, tab
lets, etc., to which ia invited the critical In
spection OF parties desiring cemetery improve
ments.
| The constantly increasing business OF tht
works, of course, is not confined TO any partc
ular locality or State, its products already be
ing erected in over hundred different GENE
| teries.
To this brief announcement of the facilitie
and ability of the works, there need only b.
added good and ample evidence of integrity Il
it's operations, not only in its monied transac
lions, but in details of manufacture with whicl
the customer is usually unfamiliar, and
which he must to great extent depend upo,
| the faithfulness of the builder.
Touching this point, perhaps the most salts
factory assurance thereof that can be oferet
is the testimony of those whose orders hav
| been already executed. Hence, the preprteto
begs to submit, in another column, new ex
tract in each number of this paper, from SOM
of the many iattering 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 witt
whom there had been no previous acquaint
ance, many from parties whom the propri
etor has never seen, their work having eeel
ordered by letter, and as a matter of course NJ
occasion for compliment beyond kindly desir
to express a favorable opinion in behalf of tn
integrity and superior products of the
