A strictly up-to-date marble-cutting

recently here by Times-R Recorder
representative, who was shown in the

Any business plant that is TO give its
patrons the highest quality of pro-
ducts at the lowest cost must be or
sanized in manner that is strictly
modern in every particular
That is the secret of the organization
and success Of the Schneider Marble
Company, which originated five years
ago in a little storeroom up town. SO
rapidly has the business grown that
to-day the company occupies and owns
plant which in its thorough effective
ness and modern appliances is not su.-
passed by any in the entire state or
section.
Nessrs. C. A. and f. Z. Schneider,
father and son, established the firm.
which under their wise and thorough
management has grown steadily from
year to year until its pleased custom
ers are found in all sections of Geor-
gia, South Carolina, Alabama and Flor
ida There are at this time on file in
the offices of the company more orders
than can be filled within the next
three months. This is in itself the
greatest advertisement that any repu-
table business firm can have, while the
number Of unsolicited letters from sat
isfied customers kept on file with these
orders show with absolute certainty
that the growth Of the company's bus
mess has been secured by the most
careful and rigid honesty and straight
forward dealings
Every order submitted to this COM
Ipany is executed in their large and
well equipped plant, situated directly
on the Seaboard Air Line railway. so
that no unnecessary handling of either
rough or finished products must be
met. Every tool in the workroom,
whose dimensions of 100 by 80 feet
allow ample space for the most thor
Iough work, is of modern and most ex-
celIent make, operated by pneumatic
motive power.
Every workman in the shop is
skilled craftsman, so that the unsur-
passed excellence of skilled and COM
petent labor is added to make the fin
ished product the most desirable that
can be obtained Mr.. j. NJ. Thayer, the
shops foreman, in addition to being
one Of the best stone carvers in Geor-
gia, is a skilled designer. BY use of
the air brush and other modern appli
lances Mr.. Thayer is prepared to make
an unlimited number of designs and
drawings to suit any demands thar
may be made for original and artis-
tically executed work. BY securing all
marble and granite material in car
load lots, the company is enabled 10
sell the most artistic and carefully ex-
ecuted designs at the lowest prices 10
be obtained on first class work.
The products of the Schneider Marble
Company are limited to cemetery
work and building stone contracts, IN
which field they are specialists. The
numerous large local contracts secur-
ed and satisfactorily executed by the
company is ample proof of its wide
popularity in the local field. Four
travelling statesmen are required to
attend to the work that is being Done
by the company in covering it's large
field in four states.
Among many local orders for monu~
mental work received is one recently
placed for a granite memorial to Nj.
Sam p Warlick, which was especially
designed in the shops of the company
by its own experts. The work on the
memorial to Mr.. Jessie ChambGss has
also been awarded to this enterpris-
ing and aggressive firm.
These are only indications of the
high class work that the company is
now doing and is prepared to do for
jail of its large number of patrons.
