very small -as~ ing the coming
summer and fall 40 hard times having
had most depressing effect on the
building business. Very few marble jobs
are being figured nowadays, and Mr.
Norcross, when last here, stated that
never in Ills long experience had he
known Of such q let-up in building ope'
rations.
Mr. Noreross takes most optimistic
view, however, of the situation as re-
CARDS the marble business and looks for
a great building boom to take place after
the presidential election
