The oliver Marble and Granite
Works Of Rutland, VT.

One of the largest and best conducted monu-
mental establishments in the country, go wide
ly and favorably known for excellent WORK
owes its success to the three following dis
tiEguishing characteristics: superiority OF ma
tsrial, artistic execution, and low prices.
The frst is chiefly due to their immediate prox-
unity to the celebrated Rutland Marble Quar-
ries, and their location on the direct ralIroao
route westward from most OF the valuable
Grsaite ouarries of New England, as this I'M
portskf advantage of location over all otner
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
quarriea- Thus, customers are always getting
1.-THE crsa1'' of the entire twelve deposits
As under this plan of personally selecting all
the material, as used, there lie and can be no &C
cumulaties of inferior stock, parties may al
ways feel assured of getting only the very oest
of stock in their work. Furthermore, sound
ness of material 10 equally well insured, winch
10 a very important consideration. involving, az
1t does, to great extent, the question OF durs-
bility, which 10 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 enplsymeH of the most skilled artizans
that san Do obtained, and by combining the Ia
Dor of ea1A workman to such specially OF WORK
as he excsled in. Let csrvers be constantly
at carving, letterers at lettering, moulding cut
tiers moulding, polishers polishing, and 80 on
through every classification of the labor OF
large and well-ordered mandatory, the work
men must of necessity be ever acquiring great
er precision and dispatch in their respective
departm ents, 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.
| La order to fully meet the demand OF the
times the services of the best talent that can
| be obtained, 10 employed in constantly origin
ating fresh and novel designs for military and
civic monuments, tombs, hearth-stones, tab
lets, ETC., to which is invited the critical In
spectioH of parties desiring cemetery improve
ments.
The constantly Increasing business of the
works, of course, is not confined to any partlc'
ular locality or State, it's products already be-
ing erected in over a hundred different GENE
teries.
| To this brief announcement of the facilities
and ability of the works, there need only be
added good and ample evidence et integrity II
it's operskions, not only in its monied transac
lions, but in details of manufacture with which
the eustsms< is usually unfamiliar, and IL
which he must 90 q great extent depend upol
the faithfulnea of the builder.
Touching this point, perhaps the most satls
factory assurance thereof that can be Offered
ia the testimony of those whose orders hav
been already executed. Hence, the preprieto
begs to submit, i. another column, new ex
tract in each number of this paper, from som
Of the many catering letters that have been re
ceved during the year or so last past. Thes
Fl Syill also serve to indicate localities Wher
4 specimens of work may be inspected.
Z kiost of these letters are from customers wit
whsm there had been no previous acquaini
i anes, many from parties whom the propri
etor IAs never seen, their work having beef
ordera6 by letter, and as matter of course M
oocasioa for compliment beyond kindly desire
