FIRST CARLOAD

We have taken orders for about
half carload oil monuments and
will complete the carload in time to
have monuments in place by Decora-
tion Day. All those contemplating
placing an order with US soon can do
80 in time to get in ON the first
shipment. To have your order come
with carload means the saving of
money since there is considerable
difference between local freight and
carload freight rates. We handle the
Colorado granite which is most en-
lurable and subject to the very fin
est polish. We took orders for three
carloads last year These orders
came from every section Of the San
