WHAT THE MARBLE DEALERS THEMSELVES
r. SAY ABOUT MARBLE.
T, se following Is on dle In the War Densr,
ment II the United States, from the late Wn
strutbe, y of Philadelphia, member ef ON
of the olde 1t and most extensive manufactur
ing firms ana marble dealers in America:
"I hive vet .o sse a monument, or any ont
door work In Itai 'Sn marble, exposed to ou
variable climate 10, twenty years. that Is no
comparative ruin"
Messrs. o. r Bennett, y. A. Bennett and E. "A
Hunt. of Jshnsbury, veI mont. the countr.
of marble quarr1es. say:
Having had an opportunity OF inves
tlgat1nS the nature OF the White eronze Mon
uments, and realizing their great $uperioritJ
over marble and all qualities of st zone, have
resolved to abandon our life long pursuit o.
the marble trade. and to give our undivided
attention to the sale of the bronze, feeling
that Dy so doing, we are not only seeking 0ul
own interests, but In q much greater degree
Promotln8 the interests OF our patrons and
friends. by giving them In theplace of perish.

What Missouri marble dealer says about
Marble and White Bronze. who has been es
years engaged In the marble business:
PLEASANT HILL, Mo, Feb. 10, 1879.
II have long since felt that it was time and
money money thrown away in using marble for
cemetery purposes, and after one years care
fgl Il study OF the nature and durability of the
White Bronze Monuments L have come to the
conclusion to devote the remainder of nv
business life to their sale, L can make ar,
rangements to do so."
EhDoHSEMESTS FROM SCIENTISTS WHO HAVE
A NATIONAL REPUTATION.
II can see no good reason why these monu-
menus shOuld not last as long as the Pyramids
Of Egypt."-Prof. Armstrong, of the New York
state Normal School.
(Prof.. MIR. "31arble Men" wants to get in
your Pyramid boat. Are not the granite of the
Pyramids OF Egypt very different material
from marble p
Judging from a chemical and scientific
s1SanuPolnt, these monuments will last for
thousands of years."-Prof Dufiield, Univer-
sity, Michigan.
Ihese monuments will, in my opinion, last
70 f9r ages."-Prof Z. +. Crag, U. S. Government
", Prot. Konig says: '"The durability of the
Mnte Bronze Monuments, Is an unquestion-
able scientific fact, and that they are practi.
cally indeStructable."
Marble Men" takes the celebrated Corte-
passi to task for saying he saw statue In
Lucca, Italy, of zinc, which was erected 800
years ago. "1nasmuch as zinc was not known
as a metal for 100 years after the time he saws
twas" "Marble Men" also says there is no
zinc statues in Lucca, Italy. Corty we have
scientist here who knows more about Italv
than you dol But. Mr.. Corty you NAV be-
right, for Chambers Encyclopedias saws the
Romans used brass-an alloy OF zinc and
copper-soon after the commencement of the
Christian era.
Marble Men" thinks the decoration of the
bronze is not as fine As can be done on mar.
bic. Hear what the late Bayard TAYLOR saws
OF the White Bronze Medallion of Gen. Wash.
1nSton: = "For a work designed to
be popular. it is stamped by unusual taste
and artistic merit"
The Arch Bishop of PHILADELPHIA says of the
Medallion of Pope Plus tae TX: "The likeness
Is most striking, and the whole work in excel
lent TASTE"
wonder how marble Mems" medallion OF
George or Plus would Look in marblel
In regard to the small monument erected
In Machpelah Cemetery, "Marble Mems"
statements are untruthfuI, and insulting
towards the unfortunate who has been de.
celved into purchasing one of them" He
says lit Is In pieces" Areyours not in pieces2
bronze" Is not riveted together There is
no r1vets about 1t, A small cross Is fastened
on by screw bolts made of material which
would resist the action o. the weather for
thousand years,
Marble Men" says: "it will rust or corrode
and will prove it to any one that will go with
US to the Cemetery" Mr.. you can make 81 COO
by proving it.
nr. Editor, Justice to you and your readers,
would not permit me to touch all his veal,
attempts on the Bronze, and leave the mat.
Ter with an intelligent public and will say
1hat mis- remark, "a majority OF the refer.
enees are their agents" "is untrue. The agents
are not one in one hundred.
ihe monuments can be placed on stone
oases or not, as purchasers see fit, and
when one stone decays. another can be put
IN Its place. The Bronze Monuments. in anv
given size, are as heavy as marble, and the
means for fastening them are better.
