Loyal to His Church Paper

The following very interesting story was
told by monument dealer to the owner
of quarry whose stone had been adver-
/ tised under brand in religious publica-
tons. An order had been placed with this
monument dealer for handsome monu-
ment of this particular brand of granite.
The dealer asked the reason for specifica-
ton of that granite and the answer was
that the man over whose grave it was to
be erected had specified on his dying bed
that his monument was to be built of that
brand of granite, giving as his reason that
he had seen it advertised in his church
paper, and believed It to be the best gran
lite in the world.
His confidence in the church paper was
thoroughly indicated, for the particular
brand of granite advertised has no SUI
perior.
