The Oliver ssarb'c and G'anIIeG
Works of Rutland, Va

One of the largest and best conducted
monumental establishments in the coun-
try. 50 widely and favOrably known for ex-
cellent work, owes its success TO the three
following distinguished characteristics:
Superiority of material, artistic execution,
and Iowness of prices. The first is chiehyC
due to their immediate proximity TO the
celebrated Rutland Marble Quarries, and
their location on the direc+ HsGroad route

tie Quarries Of New England, as this i'm
portant advantage Of location over all
other similar establishments is nor, lost
sight of by the proprietor Of the Woszs;

customers are always getting " the cream"

all the material, as used, there is and can
be no accumulation of inferior stack; par

thermore, soundness of material is equally
well insured, which is a very important
consideration, involving, as it does, to
great extent, the question of durability,
which is an essential requisite to good
work.
The second distinguishing feature ofthess
works, and which perhaps has most con-
tributed to their reputation, has beep just
~ earned by the employment of the most
skilled artizans that can be obtained, and
by combining the labor OF each workman
to such speciality of work as he is eXcelled
in. Let caryers be constantly at carving,
