One Of the largest and best conducted
monumental establishments IN the coun-
try: so widely and favorably known for ex-
cenent work, owes its success TO the three
following distinguished characteristfos:
Superiority Of material, artistic execution,
and lowness Of prices. The first is chiefly
due to their immediate proximity to the
celebrated Rutland Marble Quarries. and
their location on.the direct railroad route
westward from most of the valuable Gran
lie 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 fun benefit there
of in a personal selection Of material from
the entire product Of the quarI1es. Thus,
customers are always getting D." the cream
Of the entire twelve deposits.
As under the plan Of personally selecting
all the material, as used. there is and can
be no accumulation of inferior stock: par
ties may always feel assured of getting only
the very best of stock in their work. Fur
ther1nore, soundness Of material is equally
well insured, which IS q very important
consideration, involving, as it does, 10
great extent, the question OF durability,
which IS an essential requisite TO good
work.
The second distinguishing feature ofthese
works, and which perhaps has most con-
tEibuted to their reputation, has been Just
ly earned by the employment ofthe most
skilled afilzans that can be obtained, and
by connning the labor OF each workman
to such speciality Of work as he is excelled
in. Let carvers be constantly At carving.
letterers constantly at lettering, moulding
cutters moulding, pOlishers polishing, and
so on through every classification OF the
labor OF large and wcll-ordered manufac-
tory, the workInen must of necessity be
ever acquiring greater precision and des-
patch in their respective departments,
while this systematic adaptation Of labor,
added to their unequalled facilities in the
selection OF material, makes inevitable
their
Third feature. and enables them TO fur
nish the very best work at the lowest pos
s1ble prices.
In order TO fully meet the demand Of the
timeSs the services Of the best talent that
can be obtained. is employed in constantly
originating fresh and novel designs for
military and civic monuments, tombs,
hearth-stoDes. tablets, etc. to which Is in
yited the critical inspection OF parties de-
string cemetery improvements.
The constantly increasing business of
the works, of course. Is not confined TO any
particular locality or State, its products

different cemeteries.
To this brief announcement Of the facili-
ties and ability of the works. there need
only be added good and ample evidence Of
integrity in its operations, not only In its
mOnied transactions, but in details of
manufacture with which the customer is
usually unfamiliar, and in which he must
TO a great extent depend upon the faithful
ness of the builder.
Touching this point, perhaps the most
satisfactory assurance thereof that can be
offered Is the testimony of those whose
orders have been already executed. Hence.
the proprietor bcgs TO submit, in another
column. a new extract in each number Of
this paper, from some of the many natter-
ing letters that have been received during
the year or 50 last past. These viii also
serve to indicate localities where speci-
mems OF work may be inspected.
Most of these letters are from customers
with whom there had been 20 previous
acquaintance, many from parties whom
the proprietor has never seen, their work
having been ordered by letter, and as a
matter of course, no occasion for compli-
ment beyond Kindly desire 10 express a
favorable opinion in behalf OF the integ-
rity and superior products of the
RUTLAND MARBLE& GRANITE WORKS.
