The Oliver Marble and Granite
Works OF Rutland, VT.

One of the largest and best conducted monu-
mental establishments in the country, so wide
ly and favorably known for excellent work,
owes its success to the three following dis
tinguishing characteristics: superiority of ma
terial, artistic execution, and low prices.
The first is chiefly due to their immediate prox-
unity to the celebrated Rutland Marble Quar-
ries, and their location on the direct railroad
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
uuarries Thus, customers are always getting
''the 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 best
of stock in their work. Furthermore, sound
ness of material is equally well insured, which
is q very important consideration, involving, as
| it does, to great extent, the question Of durs-
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 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 exceIed in. Let carvers be constantly
at carving, letterers at lettering, moulding cut
tes moulding, polishers polishing, and go on
through every classification Of the labor OF q
| large aud 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 thelT
Third feature, and enables them to furnish
| the very beat work at the lowest possible
prices.
In order to fully meet the demand Of the
| lines, the services of the best talent that car
| ne obtained, is employed in constantly origin
4tiug fresh and novel designs for military and
| civic monuments, tombs, hearth-stOnes, tab
| cts, etc, TO which IL 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 psrtic-
ular locality or State, its products already be-
ing erected in over a hundred different GENE
| teres.
To this brief announcement Of the facilities
| and ability of the works, there need only b'
added good and ample evidence 81 integrity il
| IT. operations not only in its mOnied trarsac
lions, but in details of Manufacture with which
the customer is usually unfamiliar, and II
| which he must to great extent depend upoE
| the Gaithfulness of the builder.
Touching this point, perhaps the most sat5s
factory assurance thereof that can be offered
IS the testimony of those whose orders have
been already executed. Hence, the proprietor
0egs to submit, ia another column, new ex
rract i'll each number Of this paper, from SOME
