It was once claimed that the present method of sawing marble origi- 
nated in our own country. This led some of the doubters to go back into 
history for the proof. They found that Pliny had told how marble was sawed 
twenty centuries or more ago— the same toothless saws fed by sand and water. 
The process of sawing has, of course, been greatly improved, but it was 
invented a long, long time ago. 
This is only another way of telling an old story. Men have always 
known the value of marble. Even in the earliest days they were striving to 
place the industry on a practical basis — dreaming of the great things that have 
become realities here in America. 
Every piece of marble that leaves the Vermont shops is a tribute to American 
efficiency. The monument pictured on this page was skillfully cut out of the best of 
marble. It was made in the shortest possible time and at a minimum cost. All this 
has come about — as a result of New TV orld ingenuity.
