Ashland Granite Company

Granite Testimony
The ASHLAND GRANITE COMPANY,
at Ashland, Oregon, has been Incorporated
• with an authorized capital stock of $150,-
000 in shares of $100.00 each, all common
stock. The purpose of this company is
to purchase 140 acres of land with the
m achinery and other equipm ent of the
Blair Granite Company, enlarge the plant
and conduct the business on a much larg­
er scale and therefore to better advantage.
A ten acre tract on the railroad will be
provided for a m anufacturing site.
In the past six years, Mr, W alter M.
«Blair has sold over $60,000 worth of
granite, largely In the following places,
Medford, Eugene, Hillsboro, Corvallis,
The Dalles, and to seven dealers In P ort­
land, Oregon; Chehalis, W alla W alla, Bel­
lingham, Olympia, Everett, two dealers
in Spokane and two dealers in Seattle,
W ashington; Boise, Idaho, and in Red­
ding and Yreka, California. This granite
is therefore well and favorably known In
the Northwest. It is conceded to be equal
to the best gray granite quarred anywhere
on this continent.
At the instigation of Ashland men, Mr.
Henry M, Parks, Director of the Bureau
of Mines and Geology a t Portland, Ore­
gon, visited the Blair quarry and made
an official report thereon which is In part
as follows:
"The stone in the vicinity of the Blair
quarry is part of a very large mass of
granite which makes up the main part of
Ashland m ountain, When first formed
the granite which we now see on the su r­
face in the vicinity of Neil creek was
probably thousands of feet below the sur­
face of the earth where it cooled very
slowly. There is no question as to the
quantity of stone available in the vicinity
of the Blair quarry. It is practically un­
lim ited.”
(Signed) HENRY M. PARKS, Director.
Original letters containing the follow­
ing extracts are on file with the Ashland
G ranite Company:
P. R. Hardy, Spokane, W ashington.
" I do not hesitate to say th a t In mv
opinion the Ashland granite is fully equal
to the Barre, Vermont, granite. There ft
ho doubt in the world but it will prove
to be a great privilege to secure stock
in this corporation within three years
after it Is organized”

E. C. Lake, Eugene, Oregon.

“ Mr. Blair has delivered to me tom e
as fine granite dies as I could expect to
get from any granite dealer In the east."
Qle Kure, Chehalis. W ashington,
"I think the granite is very fine and
good, the only drawback to it is th a t I
can 't get it when I want it.”
M, N. Lewis & Co,, Hillsboro, Ore.
"I do not think there is anything
b etter than Ashland as to gray granite.
When I am sure of getting goods from
Ashland on time, then I will not order
any more Barre. As to your Belling all
the output of the Ashland quarrries this
vou w llu have no trouble to do.”
F . H. W atts of W atts Marble Works.
The Dalles, Oregon.
“ I think It Is a b etter granite than
Barre. I have decided to use the Ash­
land granite altogether.”
G. B. Johnson, Portland, Oregon.
“ I do not hesitate to state th a t could
Ashland granite be produced in quantities
sufficient to supply the m arket, the deal­
ers here would have no further use for
Barre granite.”
F ran k D. Weeks of Spokane Monu­
m ental Co.. Spokane, W ashington.
“We have used possibly one hundred
small polished pieces last year and for
all purposes we wished, it was very satis­
factory. We are interested in seeing Ash­
land granite placed on the m arket in such
shape as to Insure prom pt delivery of
orders so we can depend on putting in a
line of It,”
John Eddy F ranklin of W ashelli Ceme­
tery, Seattle, W ashington.
*’We think very well of this Ashland
granite and believe if properly pushed it
would take the place on the Pacific coast
of the Barre Vermont granite which has
been very popular.”
W. J. Masterson of the Redding Marble
W orks, Redding, California.
"I have used quite a lot of the stone
(Ashland granites some time ago and find
it to be A-No.l stone.”
Frank VanHooseu, Corvallis, Oregon.
"Will say I can recommend it (Ash­
land granite) fully as good as Barre, I
have used this granite for some time, and
I deem it first class in every respect.— I
am sure a lot of finished work on baud
at all times would be a big paying propo­
sition and would mean lots of real busi-
new. I am sure I would be glad to turn
all of my orders your way.”
J. C. Bruchner of Otto Schuman Gran­
ite and Marble Works, Portland, Ore.
"As one of the largest consumers in
this territory of granite quarried by the
Blair Granite Co., we would be glad to see
the change made, and we are satisfied that
the property, if developed on a large scale,
would be an excellent paying proposition.
We claim that it outranks the Vermont
product. With an up-to-date equipped
quarry and finishing plant you will, w ith­
out doubt, find a ready m arket ip. the
whole territory west of the Rocky moun­
tains. Assuring you of our patronage and
good will, we rem ain.”
T. A. Wylie, of Wylie Monument
Works, Walla Walla, W ashington.
“ We are very glad to learn that you
are contem plating forming a new com­
pany to take over the Blair G ranite Com­
pany, and work on a larger scale.
“ We have used this granite for Home
time, and find it to be a fine grained
m onumental granite, and compares fav­
orably with the celebrated ‘Rock of Ages’
granite of Barre, V erm ont.”
King G ranite Co., North Portland.
"W e have used quite a little of it
(Ashland granite) and like it very much
and have had no trouble to sell it, the
only fault we experienced was in not get­
ting It when we wanted It.”
Oregon G ranite Co.. Medford, Oregon.
“ We are so enthused over the quality
of the granite you (W. M. Blair) furnish­
ed us for the “ W illits” monument, th a '
we feel called upon to pass some of our
enthusiasm on to you. You will recall
th at this was a large all polished die with
fine hammered base.
“ In all our entire twentv-five years
experience in the monument business we
have never seen a more perfect piece of
stock.”
E arl Perry, of Perry Granite Co., P ort­
land, Ore.
Sept. 11, 1920.
(To W. M. Blair) “ I could use a
carload of your granite If I had any as­
surance th a t I could get it before March
1, 1921, and your money will be ready
as soon as the car is unloaded.”
Owing to lack of space much interesting
inform ation and many additional com­
ments in these letters have had to he
omitted.
Computations made from original price
lists of Barre, Vermont, granite, with
freight figured at carload rates, using a
slab of granite 2 feet by 1 foot by 2Va
feet, polished on one side as a basis, we
find th a t at point of production the cost
of Barre granite is 30 per cent higher
than Ashland granite. Delivered In P ort­
land, Oregon, it is 53 per cent higher and
delivered a t San Francisco it is 46 per
cent higher,
California monumental
granites, inferior to Ashland and Barre,
and not In the same class with the latter
two, cost more delivered in Portland and
a little less In San Francisco, according
to their quoted prices, than Ashland gran ­
ite delivered to these points.
Ashland granite can be shipped as far
east as Butte and Helena, Montana, and
as far south as San Diego, California, at
a lower freight rate per 100 pounds than
the Barre granite can be shipped to these
points by rail. The rail and w ater rates
combined (including various sundry nec­
essary incidental charges) from Barre
to Portland, Oregon, average only about
20 cents per 100 pounds less th at the
through rail rates. This makes the w ater
transportation to Portland cost about
three times what the rail rate Is from
Ashland,
Freight computations are from figures
supplied by the general freight agent of
the Southern Pacific. Monuments of both
Ashland and Barre granite can be seen
