pany of West Concord is now work ing
on big stone taken from this quarry, to
be used for the front end of a vault il a
Pennsylvania cemetery. This COMPANY
is having all it can do and the men are
working over time. They have had
chances to bid building contracts but are

about $4,000 will be required to ge
