The oliver Marble and Granite
Works Of Rutland, VT.

One of the largest and best conducted monu-
mental establishments in the country, 80 Wide
ly and favorably known for excellent WORK,
owes its success to the three following dis
tipguishing characteristics: superiority oil 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, az 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 De no ac-
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, az
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 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 go on
| through every classification OF the labor OF q
| large and well-ordered mandatory, the work
men must of necessity be ever acquiring great
| er DR. cision 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 car
i be obtained, is employed in constantly origin
ating fresh and novel designs for military anc
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 psrtlc
ular locality or State, its 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 Dt
added good and ample evidence OF integrity IL
its operations, not only in its monied trahsac
lions, but in details of manufacture with which
the customer is usually unfamiliar, and II
which he must to great extent depend upoI
the faithfulness 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 proprieto
begs to submit, in another column, new ex
tract in each number of this paper, from SOM
of the many fa.tering letters that have been re
ceived during the year or so last past. Thee
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 from parties whom the propri
etor has never seen, their work having beel
ordered by letter, and as matter Of course NJ
occasion for compliment beyond kindly desir
to express favorable opinion in behalf of tn
integrity and superior products of the
