producing state. For 10 years or
more, marble has been quarr1ed
without interruption from the Regal,
Blue quarries, three miles north OF
this city, but the entire output has
been contracted to a Georgia whole

it on the market with Georgia mar
BILE and Georgia instead of North
Carolina got the credit.
The fame of Regal Blue marble

$4,000 has just purchased the Regal
Blue properties and have begun the
construction of factories for the. fin
fishing and polishing of their prod
uct on the ground. Hereafter Regal
Blue will carry the fame of North
Carolina, for the marble is produced
nowhere else in this country, While
it has been used from New York. to
the state of Washington.
Before investing in the properties
the new owners employed DR.. 7. P.
Maynard, one. of the leading geolo-
gists of the country, co look into the
situation and satisfied themselves not
only that they have unlimited GUAM
titles of Regal Blue under their 1900
acres of land, but that they have Il
complete monopoly of this most val
liable stone.

over Georgia and Alabama AMI Ten

tition with them it brings from . t.
35 per cent higher prices and is worth
more because of it's richness.
