The oliver Marble and Granite
Works Of Finland. VI.


One of the largest and best conducted monD
mental establishments in the country, so wa.
ly and favorably known tor excellent wors
owes its success to the three following DIE
tiRguishing characteristics: superiority OF ms
terial. artistic execution, and low price-
The frst is chiefly due To their immediate PROF.
unity to the celebrated Rutland Marble Quar-
ries, and their location On the direct ratironr
route westward from most OF the VALUABLE
Granite 0uarries of New England. as this IND
portant advantage of location over all ether
similar establishments is not lost sight ct b,
the proprietor of the Works; and his patron
have the fall benefit thereof in q personal seec
ton of material from the entire prOdHct of the
quarries. Thus, custosaers are always getting
s'the cream" of the entire twelve uepas1ts
AS under this plan of personally selecting al
the material, as used, there is and can be no &C
cumulatien of inferior stock. parties may al
ways feel assured of getting only the very hest
If stock in their work. Furthermore, SOUND
ness of material is equally well insured, whicf
is a very important consideration. involving, AZ
1t does, TO great extent, the question of dura-
bility, which is an essential requisite to good
work.
The second distinguishing feature OF these
works. and which perhaps hss most contributes
to their reputation, Rss been justly earned ny
the employment of the most skilled artiZAnr
that can be obtained, and by combining the la
Dor of each workman to such speciality of worn
as he excelled in. Let carvers be constantly
at carving, Ietterers At lettering, moulding cut
ters moulding, polishrrs polishing, and so Oh
through every classification of the labor of u
large and well-ordered maDnfactory, the work
men must of necessity be ever acquiring great
er pr. csiOn and dispatch ia their respective
departments, while this systematic adaptation
of labor, added to their anequalIed facilities in
the selection of material, makes inevitable their
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 CAL
be obtained, is employed in constantly origin
attng fresh and novel designs for military aDo
civic monuments, tOmbs, hearth-stones, tab
lets, etc, to which is invited the critical In
spection of parties desiring cemetery improve
ments.
The constantly increasing business OF the
works, of course, is not confined to any partic.
HIsr locality or State, its products already be-
ing erected in over 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 sf integrity II
its operations, not only in its mOnied transac
lions, but in details of manufacture with which
the customer is usually unfamiliar, and II
| which he must to a great extent depend upor
the faithfulness of the builder.
Touching this point, perhaps the most satis
factory assurance thereof that can be Offered
is the testimony of those whose orders have
been already executed. Hence, the proprietor
| begs to submit, in another column, new ex
tract in each number of this paper, from some
of the many Gathering letters that have been re
ceived during the year or so last past. Thes'
will also serve to indicate localities wher'
specimens of work may be inspected.
| Most of these letters are from customers Will
whom there had been no previous acqusint
ance, many from parties whom the prspri
etor has never seen, their work having beer
ordered by letter, and as matter OF course nj
| occasion for compliment beyond kindly desir'
to express q favorable opinion in behalf of tn
integrity and superior products Of the
