WILL ENLARGE HIS BUSINESS.
An Expert Marble Man Likes Guthrie
Fine.
Established Capital City Marble and
Granite Works Just
Year Age.

About year ago Mr.. J. e. Ogrosky
came here 8rom Fort Dodge. Iowa.
and engaged In business under the
firm name of the Capital City Marble
and Granite Works. Mr.. Ogrosky has
been in the marble and granite busl-
ness for twenty years. In fact he has
never done anything else from his
boyhOod. Die was In business at Fort
Dodge for twelve years before coming
to Guthrie He sold out his business
there 10 come here because he felt
that this was better field anJ is
today well satisfied with his change.
During the first year here MIR.
Ogrosky has built up u very substan-
tial business. having two men con-
tinually on the road, and covering a
territory for at least hundred miles
around, often selling goods in towns
where there are local marble and gran.
ite works, but who cannot furnish the
class OF work wanted.
When NJ. Ogrosky first opened up
for business he had his works located
at ia North Vine street, but about
three months ago he purchased a lot
at 316 West Oklahoma and novel
there, where he is now located He Is
preparing TO make some extensive i'm.
provements at his works, including the
installing Of pneumatic tools. He al
ready has things In fine snaps, but
with the improvements contemplated,
he will be able to turn out as nice
line of marble and granite goods as
any concern in the southwest. He al
ready employs a number of men, but
as SOON as he gets things IN shape
he will be able to employ more, and
will put another man on the road
One OF the pleasing things about Mr
Ogrosky's business is the fact that
| Il is growing, and the fact also that
he has faith enough in Guthrie as a
commercial center 30 expend more
money fO- Improvements. This Is the
kind Of business zeal that insures r0r
town commercial stability and en-.
ables her TO make genuine progress
not necessarily by leaps and bounds,
bat steadily and therefore surely.
The thing that has given the Capital
City Marble and Granite Works such
| prestige Is the class ~ work Mr
Ogrcsky has turned out. In the first
place ne makes all kinds OF desgnes,
and the large list his customers have
to select from makes sales easy for
mis- saiesmen. In the seconl place
the class OF polishing. etc, done by Mr..
Ogrosky Is OF the highest order. Many
marble and granite men use acids and
| the Ike to secure a polish. Such pol
/ lshing sooa " ears on and thea the
purchaser becc mes disSusted. Il Is
not so With Mr., Ogrosky's Droduc-
tions.
Theirs are some marble and granite
men and works IN the state that can
put out cheaper goods than Mr.
Ogrosky can, but there are Eone that
! can put out any better goods than he
does, In addition to d ing the highest
c'ass Of work on his designs, and IN
edition TO having the largest assort'
lment Of designs TO select from ne
also uses only the very best Of the
raw marble and granite. Ell 2f tPesc
things are bound 10 build up a big
business f-r Mr. Ogroaky. In fact
these ere the very things that makes
his business growing ore today.
Nov, II must not be inferred from
! the fact that Mr. Csrosxy aims AZ
perfection IN his work and the goods
/ he puts out that ne puts out no cheap
goods. Mr.. Ogrosky knows 40 well
as any cne that some people Will have
no other kind OF goods. He Is able to
supply these es veil az any. But the
point is this: Mr. Ogrosky would
lrether sell the best goc6s ne csn pu'
lout because he knows that 10 the only
way q permanent trade can be bull
up.
