In the campaign for apprentices in
the granite industry, the Granite Man
ufacturers association Office is receiv-
ing inquiries from various remote
places. Among the inquiries received
day was from young man in Ken
lucky, who wishes TO come to Barre
to learn the trade As the result of
the campaign which was launched a
few months ago with an increased scale
of wages as an inducement, many of
the manufacturers in the Barre district
have already employed their full quota
Of apprentices.
In great many instances where
memorials for the veterans of the great
war are being designed, the plans spe-
officially call for Barre granite. As the
result, Barre granite is not only in
greater demand but is receiving at the
same time countrywide publicity. Two
instances OF such selections follow, One
taken from the Knickerboeker Press Of
Albany, n ". reads: "The contract for
the memorial to be erected in honor OF
the 9th division by the Schenectady
family circle has been awarded. The
memorial will be erected in Crescent
park, lust below the fountain, on a
plot Of ground allotted for the purpose
by the city The design is one of ex-
ceptional beauty, and the shaft will be
made Of Barre granite. 1t Is expected
the work will be completed by Nov.
10" The second was taken from the
Sioux City Daily Tribune, la. II reads
thus: What is pronounced the finest
soldiers monument in the state was
unveiled in Hawarden, Ia, last week
with fitting ceremony. There are other
monuments in the state that are larger,
but none, it is said, which so well rep
resents the purpose for which it was
erected A large crowd witnessed the
ceremony, which was addressed by i.
L. Dimond of Sheldon, Ia The monu.
ment, which is 90 feet high, was erect
ed by the county. 1t is Of Barre, Yer
mont, granite The names of all the
soldiers of the world war in the county,
both living and dead, are cut in raised
letters on the pedestal" These two
clippings are, of course, only two which
happened to come within notice of some
Barre person There are, without
doubt, such publicity notes circling
about almost daily in cities throughout
the United States, for it must be re.
membered that Barre granite may be
found in almost any part of the globe.
