The oliver Marble and Granite
ibru9ss Works OF Rutland, VT.

One of the largest and best conducted monu-
mental establishments in the country, so WIDE
ly and favorably known for excellent WORK,
owes its success to the three following dig
tisguishing characteristics: superiority OF ma
terial, artistic execution, and low prices.
The first Ia chiefly due to their immediate pre1-
unity to the celebrated Rutland Marble GUAR
ries, and their location on the direct railroad
route westward from most OF the valuable
Granite Quarries 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 is and can be no &C
cumulatien of inferior stock, parties may al
ways feel assured Of getting only Inc very oest
Of stock in their work. Furthermore, sound
ness of material is equally well insured, whlch
is very important consideration, involving az
it does, to great extent, the question OF dura-
bility, which is an essential requisite 10 good
work. Ia -,. -..rs.f,..-.... .........ss,... i
The second distinguishing feature Oh THESE
works, and which perhaps has most contributed
to their reputation, has been justly earned by
| the employment of the most skilled artizans
that car be obtained, and by conhning the Ia
Dor of each workman to such specially Of WORK

at carving, ietterers at lettering, moulding cut
tiers moulding, polishers polishing, and SO on

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

prices. '''' t''t~ ~'

times, the services Of the best talent that can
| be obtained, is employed in constantly origin

civic monuments, tombs, hearth-stones, tab

The constantly increasing business OF the
works. of course, is not confined to any partic-
ular locality or State, it's products already be-
ing erected in over q hundred different GENE

| To this brief announcement Of the facilities
ana ability of the works, there need only De
added good and ample evidence of integrity III
it's operations, not only in its monied transsc-
tions, but in details of manufacture with which
the customer is usually unfamiliar, and IN
| which he must to a great extent depend upon
the faithfulness of the builder.
Touching this point, perhaps the most satis-
factory assurance thereof that can be offered
1 is the testimony of those whose orders have
been already executed. Hence, the proprietor
begs to submit. ia another column, a new ex-
tract in each number of this paper, from some
of the many iattering letters that have been re-
cefved during the year or so last past. These
viii also serve to indicate localities where
specimens of work may be inspected
Most of these letters are from CUSTOMERS with
whom there had been no previous acquaint
ance, many from parties whom the propri-
etor has never seen, their work having been
ordered by letter, and a. "a matter OF conrse no
occasion for compliment beyond a kindly desire
to express a favorable opinion in behalf Of the
integrity and superior products of the
RUTLAND MARBLE q GRANITE WORKS.
