The oliver Marble ana Gfahite
Works of Rutland, VI.

One of the largest and best conaucteo mohu-
mental establishments in the country, 30 "loe-
" and favorably known for excellent "oiA'
owes its success to the three following ols-
tinguishing characteristics: superiority Oh hia-
terial, artistic execution, and low prlces'
The first is chiefly due to their immediate proA-
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
nortant advantage of location over all other
similar establishments is not lost sight OF by
the nroprietor of the Works; and his patrons
have the full benefit thereof in personal selec-
tion of material from the entire product OF the
ouarries. Thus, customers are always gettlhg
t.the cream" of the entire twelve deposits.
Asunder this plan of personally selecting all
| the material as used, there is ana CHI oe ho az

of stock In their work. Furthermore souLu
ness of material is equally well insured "hlon

The second distinguishing feature OF these
works. and which perhaps has most contributes
to their reputation, has been justly eafheu ny
the employment of the most skllied artlAa
that can be obtained, and by connn1ng inc IN

La order to fully meet the demand OF th
times. the services of the best talent that Cal
he obtained, is employed in constantly orlRhl
atinp fresh and novel designs for military an
civic monuments, tombs, hearth-stones, tau
lets. etc. to which is invited the crlncal IL
snection of parties desiring cemetery improve
ments.
The constantly increasing business OIL ID
works, of course, is not confined TO any par w
uIar locality or State, its products slreaoy Dc
ing erected in over hundred different GEM
teries.
To this brief announcement Of the facllltlt
and ability of the works, there need ohly
added good and ample evidence Of integrity
its operations, not only in its monled transa
tions, but In details of manufacture with "hlS
the customer is usually unfamiliar, and
which he must to great extent depend upc
the faithfulness of the builder.
Touching this point, perhaps the most satl
factory assurance thereof that can be offer
ia the testimony of those whose orders ma
been already executed. Hence, the prophet
begs to submit, in another column, new
tract in each number of this paper, from son
of the many aattering letters that have been
ceived during the year or so last past Ihe
will also serve to indicate localities Whe
specimens of work may be inspected.
Most of these letters are from customers WI
whom there had been no previous acquah
ance, many from parties whom the prop
etor has never seen, their work having be
ordered by letter, and as matter OF course
occasion for compliment beyond kindly des
to express favorable opinion in behalf OF
integrity and superior products Of the
