Works OF Rutland. VT.

One of the largest and best conducted NOM
mental esta ts In the country, SO wide
ly and favorably known tor excellent work

tinguishing characteristics: superiority of ns
terial, artistic execution, and low Prlces
The first is chiefly due TO their Immediate proa
unity to the celebrated Rutland Marble Guar
ries, 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
quarries. 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 ia and can be no &C
emulation of inferior stock, parties may al

Of stock In their work. Furthermore, sound
ness of material is equally well insured, which
is a very important consideration, involving, as
1t does, to great extent, the question of durs-
bility, which is an essential requisite to good
work.
The second distinguishing feature OF these
to their reputation, has been justly earned by
the employment of the most skilled artiZans
that can be obtained, and by combining the Is
Dor of each workman to such specially of WORK
as he excelled in. Let carvers be constantly
