sales fell below the 100000 mark in
1917 and were exceeded by those of Yer
mont The number of blocks made di-
rectly by producers in Vermont was not
very large, but the sales of manufactur
ers who purchased rough blocks of Yer
mont granite are included, as their inclu-
sion more truly represents the condition
of the paving industry. In some Granite
districts of other states, blocks were
made from rough stock sold by quarry
companies TO paving cutters, and the
sales of these were included in the state
totals; but in no other state was the
number of these blocks so great as in
Vermont.
The average price per thousand ranged
from as low as 1913 in Vermont and ,S44
in New Hampshire to 500 in Minnesota
and S67 in Rhode Island. New Hampshire
and Vermont showed decreases in aver
aye price per InuusdIu OIL 81 ana 20 re-
spectively, in 1917. Virginia's average
price remained the same as in 1915. The
other states showed increases ranging
from 81 in Rhode Island to sic in Cali
fornia and Maine and Sl4 in Georgia.
the considerable increase
in the average price in Georgia, the prin
eipal controlling factor in 1917, as in
1916, was apparently the ease with which
the blocks could be prepared. Thus the
average price in New Hampshire (S44l
and in Georgia (S47l, where easily worked
granite blocks are abundantly produced,
presented contrast to that in Massa-
nhusetts tS5s), where some of the gran
ties are unusually hard, and with the
average price in Wisconsin 1884 and in
Minnesota 1859, where the GRANTEES are
hard.

of the interior, in cooperation with the
Granite Paving Block Manufacturers as
| ISOLATION Of the United States, Inc, and
the geological surveys of Georgia, Mary
lnad, Minnesota, Missouri, New York,
North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Virginia,
and Wisconsin. The quantity of paving
blocks produced represents a decrease of
10 per cent. compared with 1916, which in
turn showed decrease of more than four
per cent. compared with 1915. The value
in 1917, however, owing TO increase in
price, was only one per cent. less than
that in 1916, which was practically the
same as that of 1915. The average price
per thousand during each of these three
years was Sass in 1915, $50.73 in 1916,
and s57 SO in 1917, the last being the
highest price ever recorded. These fig
ures do not include sales of "durax'

Sales were reported from Is states in
both 1916 and 1917, South Carolina re-
placing Delaware in 1917. Three states,

NntutNfl Httu "a Apnlc
DIR. Williams Pink Pills are an ideal
tonic for nervous people because they
are non-alcoholic and nervous patients
should avoid alcoholic stimulants.
The treatment consists largely in rest,
recreation and the use of the tonic, the
of any practice that may
have caused the trouble and abstinence
from tea, coffee and stimulants. As the
nerves receive their nourishment through
the blood the latter must be built up
and made rich and pure. Especially il
there is loss of weight and pallor indi-
eating a weakness of the blood, DR..
Williams Pink Pills are best adapted.

ers there reported practically no demand
in 1917, as brick, asphalt, and cement
paving were being used almost exclusive
ly. A considerable quantity of granite
paving, however, was used in Los Ange-
les for repair work along cutters. No
shipments to any other large cities in the
Pacific coast states were reported in 1917.
These cities, when the heavy traffic
around their freight terminals and in
their principal business streets is consid-
cred, appear to offer a potential market
for granite paving, provided the durabil-
ity of granite pavements laid in accord
ance with the latest improved specifca
tions can be adequately demonstrated.
