Notice to Builders

I winh to inform the building public
that I have opened a atone quarry on
the Cam i .bell place about two miles
from town and am In a position to
take all kinds of atone contracts at a
great ravin? to the builder. There are
vevernl reaannB why 1 can f aralah this
stone at a oheaper rate than hard atont
dealers. The principal ,reas n is that
th" stone is tofter and can be out and
dre-8fid ut less expense : than, tbe
hard stono now being furnished tbe
trade. . The quarry is nearer town aud
a good hard r. a.l. This , stone is
not only rin-t elasB (oundation rock but
can also be cut at u very . slight cost
for wull,H and fancy trimmings. If you
are thinking ol building let me know
and I will convince you that yon can
bnild a stone -fmlldini? with thla stnue
chenper than with any other material
now in use here. Jcaiy a full and
