In addition to the authoritative statements of experts regarding the weathering qualities 
of Georgia iMarble, the U. S. Government recognizes the non-staining quality of this incompar- 
able material and does not require waterproofing as they do with other marbles. The following is 
quoted from a Government specification for stone work : 
“Protection against stain. Before the stone is set, the backs and edges 
to zvithin one-quarter inch of the face of all marble, EXCEPT GEORGIA 
MARBLE, shall be given a heavy coat of approved zvaterprooUng com- 
pound and another coat shall be applied Ojtcr the stone is set.” 
Georgia iMarble, through sheer merit, has won a place of high distinction and its march is 
ever on and upward. Its surpassing beauty and proven durability are its recognized virtues. *
