who are to operate the plant under the
name of Carroll Bros. The property was
disposed of by the Mari & Gordon firm
and the announcement that Messrs. Car
roll are to establish themselves in the
business on Granite street means that
one of the oldest stoneshed sites in the
Barre granite district is to be occupied
once more. The Marr & Gordon firm has
not been operating the plant for some
months, the wheels having been stopped
when the firm completed its contract for
cutting the stone for the state library
building at the capital. The firm, how
ever. will continue to operate the Leland
plant, so called. at North Barre.
Messrs. Carroll have long been identi-
fed with the manufacturing end of the
granite industry in Barre and their ex-

factory for himself and afterward he
was associated with the late John Me

ing learned his trade in the plant of the
Granite Co, was interested in
granite manufactures with Murley &
Carroll and the Sutherland Granite Co.
N Waterbury. Each partner brings to
he new concern ripe experience and
equation for thoroughgoing knowl
,dge of the granite business and its re-
Iuirements.
Before operations are gotten under
way at Granite street, Carroll Bros. will
