| A large tablet manufactured from stock
taken from the quarries Of the Warner
Granite Company OF Washington was the
center of attraction last week at the stone
shed Of Eugene Sullivan, the we'll known
| granite dealer of the Granite City. MIR.
Sullivan is a native of Ireland and came to
this country in 1865, landing at New York
| the day President Lincoln was assassinat-
ed. He has had a wide experience in the
granite business during the past thirty
years, having worked every kind OF stone
| OF any note that has been used Tor monu-
mental purposes. Mr.. Sullivan is an ex.
pert carver, and has gained an enviable
reputation by his fine workmanship and
the beauty and originality of his designs
He is enthusiastic in his praise OF Washing
ton granite and considers 1t superior to any
known stone for sculptural work. The
tablet in question was manufactured under
his supervision from the design OF 1.-The
Golden STAIR" The great contrast between
the cut and polished surface (Which is char
acteristic of Washington granite) showed the
considered by all who saw it as glowinl
testimonial alike to the superiority OF Wash
ington granite and the artistical workman
ship of Mr.. Sullivan. The tablet was SOLD
at first sight to Mcdonald & Sons Of Buffalo
n. Y, who are among the largest granite
dealers in the world, and the fact that the!
would like to obtain monopoly OF the sal
OF Washington granite in that city is il
itself a sufficient recommendation for tn
stone.
