The Oliver Marble ana Granite
Works OF Rutland W.


One of the largest and best conducted monu-
mental establishments In the country, 30 wioe
" 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 Omar
ries. and their location on the direct railroad
route westward from most of the valuable
Granite ouarries of New England, 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 fall benefit thereof in personal seec-
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
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 very IMPORTANT consideration. involving, as
1t does. to great extent, the question OF dura-
| bility, which is an essential requisite TO gooo
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 artlzans
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 etterers at lettering, moulding cut
tiers moulding, polishers polishing, and SO Oh
| 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 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, 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, TAD
let's 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 partlc-
ular locality or State, it's products already be-
ing erected in over hundred different GENE
teries.
/ To this brief announcement of the facilities
and ability of the works, there need only oe
added good and ample evidence Of integrity IN
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 a great extent depend upon
the faithfulness of the builder.
Touching this point, perhaps the most salts
factory assurance thereof that can be offered
is the testimony of those whose orders have
been already executed. Hence, the proprietor
begs to submit, in another column, new ex
tract in each number of this paper, from some
of the many isttering letters that have been re
ceived during the year or so last past. These
will also serve to indicate localities where
specimens of work may be inspected.
Most of these letters are from customers with
whom there had been previous acquaint
ance, many from parties whom the propri
etor has never seen, their work having beer
ordered by letter, and as 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
