Works ~ E8utland. VI.

One OF the largest and best conducted monu.
mental establishments In the country, 90 wide

owes it, success to the three following dis
tinguishing characteristics: superiority of ma
terial, artistic execution. and low prices.
The nrst 10 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

the proprietor of the Works and his patrons
have the full benefit thereof in q personal seiec-
ton Of material from the entire product Of the
quarries. Thus, customers are always getting
the cream" Of the entire twelve deposits.
As under this plan of personally selecting all
the material, a. used, there lie 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, az
1t does, to great extent. the question Of dura-
bility, which lie 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 artizant
that can be obtained, and by combining the In
Dor of each workman to such specially of WORK

of labor, added to their unequalled facilities IL

In order TO fully meet the demand of ths

The constantly increasing business OF tn
works. of course, lie not confined TO any partic

teries.
To this brief announcement of the facilities
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 trsnsac
tons, but In details of manufacture with whicl
the customer is usually unfamiliar, and u
which he must to great extent depend upol
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 proprieto

Most of these letters are from customers wit
whom there had been no previous acquain'
