FFrank A, Suilivan, president and r of the Crumb Quarry -com- m:u;oducem of fine quarried blue-! white Westerly granite, says: “Due the continued increase in the cost production there is an advance in phices, effective January 1, 1920 While we have not increased our prices on stub posts, most of the other sizes have been raised, not in a w advance, but we have adjusted the q:m.se as far as possible, to cover the additional cost of production. The higher percentage in the smaller sizes is, necessary on account of the greater amount of labor required. We are| eddavoring to met the new conditions in part by an increase in efficiency. “Ten years ago with the quarries béing operated by a number of differ- et companies, the price for the large sizes was $38 per cubic foot. The pres- edt pnce is $4:44¢ per cubic foot, a rdise of 3 3-4 per cent over the 1919 price and an -increase of but 48 per cent. in ten vears, while wages have than doubled in that time, as: well as the cost of all sipplies and| equipment. “In spite of the shortage of labor: and other difficulties we have en- counterede during the past year, we) have been able to keep our quarries| in excellent condition. During Jan- uary and February we may be held | up somewhat by severe cold weather eid heavy snow storms, to be ex- pected during these months ,but ! i?e looking forward to no serious de- lays tibs winter.
