The present high cost of Westerly, R. I, granite encourages substitution. Some dealers in monuments will argue that other cheaper granites are just as good and endeavor to persuade you to use them. But a short visit to a cemetery with someone who can point out the different granites will con- vince you that the best material for the modern types of monuments is ‘Westerly. There is some difference in the pro- duct of the princi quarries at ‘Westerly. Each of the companies has a stone that is preferable for certain kinds of work. The best quarry for hammered work is not the best for polished monuments. We are free to select for our memorials the particular granite best adapted to its design, and we buy néthing but the best, first quality stone; no quarry seconds and no stone ffll)m "Ihe small guarries that are “off color.
