lucent qualities of marble. By plac- 
ing a lamp behind a bas-relief, he 
found that the light came through 
the marble with remarkable bril- 
liancy. His statue, “Sylvia,” at- 
tracted great attention both in this 
country and in Europe. 
Among the monuments recently 
finished in the shops of the Vermont 
Marble Company, is the Ward me- 
morial tablet. It is cut out of White 
Rutland marble, and its carved work 
is of distinctly original design. The 
contract was secured by McDonnell

F. Eurich, Superintendent Wood- 
lawn Cemetery, Detroit, Mich., says 
the “Advance Concrete Mixer” meets 
all demands for foundation work. 
During the past summer with a gang 
of nine men and the material pro- 
perly placed, they laid 4,775 cubic 
feet of concrete in fifty-six working- 
hours, this being one mausoleum 
foundation. Advance Mixers are made 
exclusively by the Lansing Company, 
Lansing, Mich., and descriptive cata- 
logs may be had on request. 
The plant of the Bomgardner Mfg. 
Co., Cleveland, O., was partially de- 
stroyed by fire on March 26, 1912. 
The loss is estimated at $12,000, par- 
tially insured. The business is going 
on uninterruptedly and plans for a 
new and larger building than the one 
destroyed, of fireproof construction, 
are well under way.

^Success of Deming Power Sprayers 
on Public and Private Grounds 
The sprayers used on low-growing fruit trees are often not suitable for tall trees; 
there is, therefore, a great demand for a more powerful and efficient machine, ; 
k hence the favor with which Deming Power Sprayers have been received. 
Made of best material, substantial and durable; engine and pump are 
mounted rigidly together, preventing lost motion and permitting higher ^ 
pressure. They have large air-chambers. 
We shall be pleased to furnish particulars, including blue- 
prints, specifications and estimates. We make pumps for 
^ all uses— distributing agencies in principal cities.
