The Oliver Marble and Granite
Works Of Rutland. VI,

one OF the largest and best conducted monu
meh'ai establishments in the country, 60 wide
~ ana iaVorably known for excellent work
owes lts success to the three following die
tlhgulsmng characteristics: superiority of ma
terlal, artlstlc execution, and low prices
Inc hrst 10 cnleny due to their immediate prox
unity TO the celebrated Rutland Marble Quar-
| r1ee, and their location on the direct railroad
route westward from most of the yaIuable
Granite ouarries of New England, as this i'm.
portant advantage of location over all other
similar establishments lie not lost sight of nv
the proprietor of the Works and his na,rons
have the full benefit thereof in a 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 the very best
OF stock in their work. Furthermore, sound
ness of material is equally well insured, which
is very important consideration, involving, as
it does, to great extent, the question of dura-
bility, which is an essential requisite to good
| work. f.t-
| The second distinguishing feature OF these
works, and which perhaps has most contributed
TO their reputation, has been justly earned by
the employment of the most skilled artizane
| that can be obtained, and by combining the Ia
Dor of each workman to such specially of work
| as he excelled in. Let carvers be constantly
at carving, letterers at lettering, moulding cut
| tiers moulding, polishers polishing, and so on
| through every classification of the labor of a
large and well-ordered mandatory, the work
men must oI necessity be ever acquiring great
er precision and dispatch in their respective
departments, while this systematic adaptation
of labor, added to their unequslled 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.
In order to fully meet the demand of the
| times, the services of the best talent that can
be obtained, is 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
spection OF parties desiring cemetery improve
ments.
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 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 of integrity In |
its operations, not only in it's monied transac-1
tons, but in details of manufacture with which |
the customer Is usually unfamiliar, and in |
which be must to great extent depend upon |
the faithfulness of the builder
Touching this point, perhaps the most satis-
factory assurance thereof that can be offered |
ts the testimony of those whose orders have
been already executed. Hence, the proprietor
begs to submit, in another column, a new ex-
tract in each number of this paper, from some
of the many 1attering letters that have been re-
ceived during the year or so last past. These
will 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 proprt-
etor has never seen, their work having been
ordered by letter, and as a matter of course no
occasion for compliment beyond kindly desire
to express favorable opinion in behalf of the
integrity and superior products of the
