There being no deterioration in their value, you always have in these your money’s worth ; while, with marble, or even granite, what you obtained at great expense, may, in a few years, become of little or no value, as defective headstones. and monuments in every cemetery bear witness. Is it not then the part of wisdom to invest where you will always feel satisfied with your purchase, and also give the same satisfaction to coming generations ? 3d. The designs are far more elaborate and beantful than can be made in stone at double the cost. 4th. Beautiful emblems full of meaning can be selected from our large list without extra cost. sth. The most delicate lines and sharpest letters will not.chip nor lose a particle of their beauty. 6th. The inscriptions, without additional expense, are ik in Pree or block letters which can not be broken off, even with an axe; while the action of the frost and constant disintegration on raised letters of stone ultimately obliterates them. 7th. The Tablets are chargeali, ard the old can be removed for new as occasion requires, with but trifling expense. Purchasers of these monuments do not need to send for a stone cutter to chisel in tke inscriptions, and costing from fiye to ten dollars extra—simply send for the inscription plate, giving the number of monument and tablet required which will come by express ; then with the aid of the socket wrench (which comes with every monument) the old tablet can be taken off and replaced with the new, and not requiring the labor of five minutes : then return the old tabiet to the manufacturers and receive credit for it. 8th. Our monuments being Dowdle Aronts or Shafts, inseripeens can be put on the backs equally as well as on the fronts, and thus do for two or even four graves. gth. The Shaft Monuments have from four to eight Tablets. Allare filled, WHEN MADE, with inscriptions, mottoes, or emblems, which can be removed as desired without marring the beauty of the monument. 1oth, ‘The price, we think, will average about the same that marble is usually furnished. If Stone Monuments were as beautifully carved.as the White Bronze are moulded, they would cost double the price of many of our designs. The durability of the White Bronze Monuments enhances their value to that of stone beyond COMP.TISOI. 1ith. They are eealend if properly--+set, are as firm as if grown to the ae and as enduring as the everlasting hills. 12th. They are all boxed and shipped ete to set in cemetery, and not being as heavy as stone are more easily handled, and freights much less, In fact, they have allthe v7tues without the vces of all monuments of stone, and we now feel that we can truthfully and conscientiously say without fear or favor, and dack it by scientific facts, as well as historical data, that the White Bronze Monuments are the BEST IN THE WORLD: Thousands of purchasers already bear witness to the above.

NEW YORK: J. W. Pratt, Book AND Jon PRINTER, 75 FULTON STREET, 1878. Entered according to Act of Congress in the year 1878, by W. S. Bartow, in the office of the Librarian of Congress at Washington, D, C. ee eb I Vee Niele © Be ee ee Though necessity is the mother of this invention it is no less true that Milo A. Richardson is its lawful father ;. who, for many years, having had charge of a cemetery where he carefully noted the disintegrating properties of stone—especially of marble, and that many granite monuments, though free from blemish when purchased, were soon badly stained by iron rust, a defect that cannot be detected until it is exposed to the weather ; also, that moss and ljchen were gradually but surely enveloping it, and obscuring the record—finally came to the conclusion that it was an imperative necessity that a more enduring, and, if possible, a changeless material should be adopted, to perpetuate the mem- ory of departed friends. Fortunately Mr. Richardson was an inventive genius, having already secured not less than fifteen patents, most of which have proved to be of practical value, and it was reserved for him to make this discovery and inaugurate the long-needed reform. The result of four years is before you, with a great variety of designs photographed and engraved from the real work, so varied in artistic beauty, enriched by floral em- blems and expressions of love in spotless and ever-enduring beauty, adapted to all classes and conditions. of life, as thous- ands of the monuments in hundreds of cemeteries from Maine to California bear witness. No demand has been more univer- sal, and but few discoveries have grown so rapidly into public favor, as many letters from leading scientists and purchasers published in this catalogue give abundant evidence. Mr. Richardson spends most of his time at the Works, and retains a permanent interest in the Patents. (For date of patents see title page.) His watchful eye is ever intent on every possible improvement, and the highest degree of perfection in every article made is the aim of all connected with the business. In spite of this great financial crisis that caught us at the early stage of its development, which has ruined hundreds of old established enterprises, this new White Bronze business has rapidly and steadily increased amid the storm, quite surprising to all who visit the manufactory.

OP WASHINGTON IN BAS-RELIEF, Cast in Solid White Bronze, By Schuyler, Parsons, Langdon & Co. FROM HOUDON’S OR DLG INGA eb iWasaks Modeled from Washington’s Living Face. By CHARLES CALVERLEY, of New York. —»— This admirable copy of the original (which no engraving can fully portray) expresses in a remarkable degree the anima- tion of a living face. See Bayard Taylor’s letter below. A likeness may be true to life in form, Yet if it lack the impress of the soul, Tis false to that which constitutes the man, And only gives his vacant tenement. Bayard Taylor thus speaks of this White Bronze Medallion of Washington in Zhe New York Tribune, of September 28th, 1877 : Mr. Charles Calverley, whose bust of Horace Greeley for the monument in Greenwood has mace his name favorably known as a sculptor, has just finished for Mr. W. S. Barlow, No. 206 Broadway, a copy in bas-relief of the Houdon bust of Washington, which, reproduced in white bronze, is now offered to the public, Copies of it may be seen at Schaus’s Art Gallery. The bas-relief is-a- careful and skillful rendering of the original, which was made at Mount Vernon in 1785, when Washington was in his fifty fourth year, and before the loss of his teeth had given his mouth that cramped and somewhat rigid character which we find in later por- traits. The force, dignity and benignity of the face are very attractive in Houdon’s bust. Its bronze representation, in bas-relief, weighs but fifteen pounds, and is thus conveniently adapted to the parlor and library wall. The color is very nearly that of the slaty-gray clay which sculptors use in modeling, and as the entire surface is finished with the sand-blast, which removes all unpleasant hardness of the lines without diminishing their strength, the genefal effect is much preferable to that of ordinary bronze. For a work designed to be popular, it is stamped by unusual taste and artistic merit. The advantages this Medallion possesses over oil paintings are obvious. Paintings fade, and ultimately become obliterated by age. This but shows what we can produce for any individual. We have one of the finest Italian sculptors in our employ at our works, who can model any likeness from life or from a photo- graph. Thus an opportunity is now offered all to preserve their features to the latest posterity. HU T.W.FIELD -TIETZE.ENC'S.

A New UsE FoR AN OLD AND WELL-TRIED MATERIAL, History informs us that Bronze has been in use, unimpaired by age, for thousands of years, varying in color as the dark or light metals of which they were composed predominated—zinc, copper, and tin being the principal ingredients. In the manu- facture of White Bronze carefully refined New Jersey zinc is the base. To this is added only such proportions of the other essen- tial elements of bronze as the highest excellence of the various styles require. (See note on page 119). By a newly-discovered patented fusing process every statue and monument is united with the same materials of which they are composed, without the show of a seam where the union of the parts is made; rendering the entire surface uniformly strong and perfect, and of equal expansion and contraction throughout. This process of uniting the several parts of statuary and monu- ments not only adds greatly to their value, but equally increases their beauty—an achievement never before reached in statuary. THE ‘‘SAND BLAST.” The entire surface of every statue and monument is finished with the “sand blast,” (a process of projecting sand by steam through a sand gun,) the same that now gives to silver its well- known frosted or satin finish, which, in its application to White Bronze, is entirely new, and at great expense is exclusively secured to us. This simply cuts from the surface an almost measureless thickness, yet removes at once all metallic reflection, giving it the appearance of a superior quality of stone, but, unlike granite or marble, it will never chip; neither can moss or any species of vegetation find a foot-hold or feed upon the mate- rial. The green from trees, which so soon penetrates stone, cannot be absorbed, and should it lodge upon its surface it can be washed off. ENRICHED BY EXPOSURE. Also by a new chemical discovery every monument is at once ‘oxidized, and will never deteriorate in color; but during the first year of exposure to the atmosphere, their much ad- mired blueish gray gradually becomes deepened and enriched, resembling in tone polished Quincy Granite, yet of a lighter shade, which is its changeless and ever enduring color. 8 | WHITE BRONZE MONUMENTS, STATUARY, ETC. » In testimony of the above, one letter of many, voluntarily given, is a sample of all. Urica, N. Y., April 28th, 1877. L. B. DEVENDORF. Dear Sir :—The White Bronze Monument I bought of you last summer looks better to-day than it did when it was first set up. My aunt, who bought a stone monument last fall, is now sorry she did not buy one like mine. I think these monuments a success. We are perfectly satisfied with the one we bought of you, and think they are all you claim for them. Yours truly, LANSING BUCKLEY. The shafts are fastened to the dies by brass bolts that are cast into each corner, by which, with brass nuts, they are thoroughly united, so that from top to bottom they present massive struc- tures, without a particle of iron about them to rust or weaken by age. Yet no show of what unites them is visible. Brass anchors or cement also hold them firmly to their stone foundations. THICKNESS AND STRENGTH. Every monumemt and statue is made thicker and heavier in material than dark bronze, but unlike dark bronze they will not change their color—ever retaining their beautful silvery gray, unimpaired by age. Hence this substitute for stone js meeting with great favor, as thousands of thankful purchasers already testify. True, in our early experience of their production some mistakes were made, which have since been corrected: but this is the inevitable result of all new enterprises, and though it is only a little over four years since this enterprise was estab- lished, it has steadily and rapidly increased. But within the past six or eight months it has developed more artistic merit, in the production of new and beautiful designs, than all the years that had before marked its progress, as the great variety and beauty of the designs in this catalogue fully demonstrate, all of which are original, and fac-similes of photographs actually taken from each monument after zt was made ; hence you really see the Styles of all as truthfully as you can the likeness of your friends when photographed. The size and full dimensions are given with each design. Thus all who desire to purchase are perfectly safe in ordering from the engravings. From the great variety of ornaments herein published, a selection can be made appro- priate to any design without extra cost, with the exception of some few of the larger ornaments. (For full particulars, see agent.) When additional names are required to be put on a monument our movable tablets afford superior facilities. Our list of designs is now so complete and varied, so well suited to all classes and conditions, that we confidently feel that every person desiring a lasting memorial for departed friends can scarcely fail in making a most desirable selection. ALL WE ASK is to look for yourselves. Not to consult with those whose interest is in direct opposition to ours; for we can truth- fully assure you that some such would fain have stopped this long-needed revolution by blocking our wheels of progress with WHITE BRONZE MONUMENTS, STATUARY, ETC. 9 a block.of marble, which, being composed of “lime and magnesia,” was scarcely felt. Beholding with astonishment the result, some followed in our wake, and begged to be taken on board; but others, more judicious, at once abandoned their life-long pursuit of marble and granite, and joined us, and are among our most zealous and successful agents, for they, of all others, know the defects of stone. TAKEN AT THEIR WORD. Among the many devices to conceal these defects of marble, the following were recently published in the marble dealers’ journal, The Reporter, (Jan. 1st, page 1, of supplement,) a large monthly published at Chicago, which reads thus: ‘‘ How to Stop Holes in Marble.—Mix gumlac with marble dust to lighten the color ; let the marble be clean and dry; heat the marble with a piece of hot brass or copper, then apply. Another way is to mix a small quantity of rzce flour with shellac, heating the marble the same as above.” We have given word for word, as published in their own organ, one of their last, and. doubtless considered the best modes of hiding the defects of marble. Think of buying rzce flour for a grave stone! It isa principle in mechanics that the weakest part of a structure defines the strength and endurance of the whole. It is also no less true that the beauty of amonument, at least, is de- pendent upon that portion which is the soonest to fail. How do you know, then, when you buy a marble monument to perpetu- ate the memory of loved ones, but that its enduring beauty, and, indeed, the very strength of the structure itself, is more or less dependent upon gum and rice flour! Even its letters (if raised) may be in part of the same material, for in cutting raised letters they often chip off and spoil, and it is hard to throw away a whole stone so nearly completed for one letter, but very easy to splice out the defect with this plastic compound. Yet the best of marble soon fails, as we will presently prove ; but first allow us to invite your attention to the proof that dealers in marble dare not trust it out of doors. This reminds us of the man who used to take his chimney in nights. But to the facts: We quote again from the same Reporter, Dec. 1, page 2: “ D.H. Dickinson, of Chicago, who uses 20,000 tons of marble annually, keeps his entire stock under cover, so that no stain can deface it.” A frank acknowledgment that marble, to be kept free from stains even during its short time of storage while on sale, needs a roof to protect it from the effects of the weather. How much more then it needs a roof to protect it after it reaches its final and fatal out-door exposure in a cemetery. True, marble zzdoors, or if well protected by a roof,is far more enduring, and while so protected is a very good material for building purposes, if laid so the seams or strata come in a hori- zontal position. But generally the seams in slabs or in monu- ments stand perpendicular with open pores pointing to and inviting the storms. Thus by absorbing moisture the seams become opened, and speedy destruction is inevitable. Io WHITE BRONZE MONUMENTS, STATUARY, ETC. One more quotation from the marble dealers’ journal, The Re- porter, (of Jan. 1st, 4th page of supplement,) must suffice: “The late William Struthers, of Philadelphia, a member of one of the oldest firms in America, upon being consulted, says in a letter on file at the War Department, ‘7 have jet to see a monument or any out-door work in Italian marble exposed to our varied climate for twenty years that is not a comparative ruin. * * * * Any purely white marble, or nearly so, will, upon a few years’ exposure, take on a dingy look.’” Still a large majority of marble cutters and dealers admit that Italian marble is the best known. IE not, why do we import it at nearly double the cost? Remember, this is from one of the oldest and most reliable marble dealers in this country. WHY MARBLE FAILS, and is’ so illy adapted for cemetery purposes, is best told by our leading Professors in Chemistry, State Assayers of Metals, &c. We will briefly quote from one of the most profound scientists in this country, George A. Konig, Ph.D., Prof. of Metallurgy, University of Pennsylvania, which is as follows: . WEST PHILADELPHIA, October 3rd, 1877. Marble is a carbonate of lime, usually mixed with more or less carbonate of mag- nesia, It contains grains and seams of yellow iron pyrite, a combination of iron and sulphur. This is rapidly attacked by air and water, forming copperas, and ulti- mately, yellow and brown blotches on the white stone. Sometimes it causes, by expansion, the crumbling of massive blocks and columns. Carbonic acid and water dissolve the marble from the outside, destroy rapidly any polish, leaving a dead, white, uneven surface. For lasting monumental structures, marbie is the least suited material, These facts are sustained by all scientists and scientific works in the country, and fully proved by experience. Notwithstand- ing this a young scion of the marble fraternity has uttered some very uncertain sounds through this same journal, the December number of Zhe Reporter. In comparing our White Bronze with marble, he expatiates on marble palaces and Statuary: alludes to the marble dome of our National Capi- tol, and says, “What is the casting of a foundry when compared to these?” If this inexperienced youth had but looked a little higher, he would have seen that the crowning glory of the same National dome at Washington is a casting from a foundry—a magnificent figure of the Goddess of Liberty. Or, if he had but looked a little lower, and extended his gaze over the country, he would have seen thousands of old grave yards filled with leaning, begrimed head-stones, like so many besotted spectres reveling with the dead. Contrast these with _the bronze statues of antiquity, which are as perfect to-day as are those in our modern parks to the memory of our heroes and statesmen, all of which will be handed down to the latest pos- terity as perfect in form as is their memory in the annals of time. Yet these, like ours, are castings from a foundry, and all the better for it ; for by this means we can not only use the most enduring material, but also secure the benefit of making all our monuments and statuary hollow: it being a philosophical fact WHITE BRONZE MONUMENTS, STATUARY, ETC. II that a hollow column will endure more thana solid one. Every monument and all our statuary has the benefit of this philo- sophical principle ; yet some marble dealers who have sought in vain for some real fault have the presumption to decry their value because they are hollow, while in fact they are actually thicker and stronger in material than most bronze statuary that has stood unimpaired for thousands of years. But this young scion, doubtless led on by older heads, also assails our material, and says that “the zinc they use [the state- ment of the manufacturers notwithstanding] is composed of lead, antimony, zinc, arsenic, iron, &c., with its particles mashed by being rolled ;” a very erroneous statement, as the following letter from those of whom all our zinc is obtained will prove: New York, January, 1878. WILSON, SCHUYLER & Co. Gentlemen -—The writer of the article on your monuments, published in the Reporter, is evidently laboring under a strong trade bias, and may therefore be excused for stating his case strongly, But he is too wide of the truth in his attempt to state what zinc is, and how it is made. Zinc is not an amalgam or an alloy, but a pure metal, just the same as gold, silver, copper, &c. The zinc we furnish you is not an adulterated article, but is refined by the severest chemical tests known to science, and is absolutely as pure as metallurgical methods can produce. Yours, truly, MANNING & SQUIER, Agents Passaic Zinc Co. (Comments are unnecessary.) To this refined New Jersey zinc, which is almost as fine and tough as silver, nothing is added except the other pure ingre- dients of bronze, as before stated. . But as zinc largely predomin- ates in White Bronze, it may be well to prove by the highest authority that even zinc alone, is of all metals one of the most enduring when exposed to the weather, which certainly can not be less valuable when enriched by copper. We quote again from Prof. K6nig’s instructive letter: CHEMICAL LABORATORY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF PENN., WEST PHILADELPHIA, October 3rd, 1877. The air is composed of nitrogen and oxygen, with smaller quantities of watery vapor and carbonic acid gas, Ali metals, gold and silver excepted, have a strong tendency to combine with oxygen—they rust or corrode. Zinc follows this rule, but the product of its combination with oxygen, the oxide of zinc combines at once with the carbonic acid in the air to a gray, firmly adhering crust on the metal, stop- ping all further chemical action. How thorough this protection is the following fact will demonstrate. Sheet zinc having been exposed to the free action of air and the inclemencies of the weather for 27 years, in the spout of a roof, was found by Prof. Pettenkofer to have formed on its outer surface a coating 1-12,000 part of an inch in thickness, This extremely thin crust had prevented further oxidation, or destruction by chemical means. As a monument, zine is practically indestructible, In conclusion, let me say that your monuments present a very pleasing aspect. The peculiar preparation of the surface, its slightly lustrous, silvery, gray color, obtained by a mechanical treatment of the metal, is very attractive to the eye, and much superior to the cold, white color of marble monu nents which have been ex- posed to the weather for some time. As explained above, the superior durability of zinc in this connection is an unquestionable scientific fact. Yours respectfully, : GEORGE A. KONIG, Ph.D., Prof. of Metallurgy and Applied Chemistry, University of Penn’a. I2 WHITE BRONZE MONUMENTS, STATUARY, ETC. SCIENCE ENDORSED BY A TEST OF OVER 300 YEARS. Certificate of Signor A.

Faikenau & Reese, San Francisco, State Assayers for California, say : We believe the ‘‘ White Bronze” Monuments to be equally enduring as the dark or olive bronze, which has withstood the action of the elements for ages. In com- parison to the durability of marble they are infinitely superior, as they will not dis- integrate and crumble to pieces like stone, E. P. Harris, Professor of Chemistry, Amherst College, Mass., says : I have examined the material for making Monuments, manufactured by Wilson, Schuyler & Co. It is well adapted in all respects for use in monuments. It will not be altered by the action of any constituents of the atmosphere, nor will it absorb the moisture and become coated with green cryptogamous plants. GRANITE. If a good quality of granite is selected it is far more durable than marble, but it varies so much in quality, and the respective qualities of the good and bad are so little understood, that great risk is always taken in its purchase. If one can be swre of select- ing granite that is composed of quartz, feldspar and mica, and free from iron, he will do well; but as much that is considered good, is often composed of one atom potassium and two atoms of silica, united to two atoms alumina and three atoms of silica, which is much more likely to decompose than the former, any one is liable to be deceived, and learn when too late that his “beautful, expensive monument” is disintegrating or becoming stained with iron rust. The following carefully prepared state- ment, given under oath, will serve perhaps to enlighten some by showing the comparative endurance of marble with the various qualities of granite. TRUE COPY.

On this 24th day of July, 1876, personally came before me, a Notary Public, within and for said County, Rinaldo Adams, to me known to be the person described herein, who states that the above is of his own knowledge true. J. F. BLY, Notary Public. You here perceive that even Scotch granite is cracking badly. This fact is being realized all over the country. The cause may be thus explained : It is quarried by being blown out with pow- der, producing many invisible seams which are not always dis- covered till they are set up, or, if discovered, they are sometimes @ I4 WHITE BRONZE MONUMENTS, STATUARY, ETC, filled with gum shellac, rosin, and some of the powdered stone, which, being applied when hot, receives a polish that in color and finish is not unlike the real stone. We might go on but space will not permit; yet we most re- spectfully ask all to consider well these facts, and you will become satisfied that it is safest and best to buy that which never can disappoint you—a material that never takes on the habiliments of age, but is ever clad in the pure and spotless costume of youth. In testimony of the universal favor with which our monuments are received, please read the following testimony from Boston to San Francisco. THEIR POPULARITY WITH THE PEOPLE. BosTon, Mass., January 11th, 1878. W. S. BARLow. Dear Six :—I have been selling the White Bronze Monuments over two years, and have agents in the country. From first to last, all who have bought them are perfectly satisfied. Their beauty is changeless, and in all respects they seem to be just what is needed to perpetuate the memory of the deceased. Among my patrons may be found some of the most influential citizens of Boston, scientists and divines. CHARLES G. WELLS, 251 Tremont Street. U PHILADELPHIA, January 17th, 1878. W. S. BARLow. Dear Sir :—\We take pleasure in reporting that our fair success so far convinces us that all we want is a greater variety of designs, and a well equipped catalogue of them. We learn that you are bringing these out, and we have so much confidence in the future of this business, that we have engaged a competent person to take charge of this business exclusively. Every one admires the beauty of the material, while the prices are acknowledged to be more favorable than marble or granite. We recently heard from a gentleman to whom we sold a Family Shaft Monument, which was erected on the high bluff over the Schuylkill river, two years ago, who says it looks de¢tery than when first placed there. The No. 60 Shaft has been out two winters, and, only this week, one of the family who was rather opposed to the selec- tion of the bronze has informed us it looks as good as ever, and he is now well pleased. We have obtained twoscientific opinions in this City, confirming the high- est opinions of these Monuments, and we feel no hesitation in guaranteeing their unchanging and enduring qualities. PAXSON, COMFORT & CO., 523 Market Street. New York, January 12th, 1878. W. S. BARLow, el Dear Sir -—When I secured the sale of the White Bronze Monuments for the City of New York, in March, 1874, I felt confident even then that it possessed merits that would ultimately triumph over all opposition, and become the monu- ments for the people. But I was aware that it was then too young in its develop- ment to meet the demands of the cultured classes of New York; hence I made no effort to bring the business into notice, but have observed with pleasure the progress of the enterprise, even going to the manufactory at Bridgeport, Conn., till now it has reached a feature of artistic attraction I did not expect, even in my most hopeful anticipations, viz., the modeling and casting of life-size statuary. This fea- ture of itself must place the business far in advance of all others. Wecan now begin at the ¢of, and show more attractions in the line of cemetery work than has ever been or can be made in marble or granite. THOS. M. TAYLOR, 163 Bowery and 51 East 41st Street, New York. 112 Mark Street, Newark, N. J., January 23rd, 1878. W. S. BaRLow. Dear Sir :-—It is with pleasure that we give our testimony to the merits and the apparent bright future of the monument business. We are now prepared to say WHITE BRONZE MONUMENTS, STATUARY, ETC. 15 that the success of the business is beyond a doubt, having sold 12 Monuments dur- ing the summer without neglecting our regular business as undertakers. Had we given the sale of them the attention the business deserved, we think 12 would have been but a small fractional part of what would have been sold. The durability of the material is beyond questioning, and where judgment has been used in selecting our patrons are more than we/l/ pleased. We are assured of many orders this spring. Others say, ‘‘we must have something in the spring, and ‘ White Bronze’ is my choice.” Men of education and experience need not be told that the material is more enduring than stone. We took the Diploma at our State Fair on the ‘¢White Bronze Monuments” this fall. Yours truly, C, W. COMPTON & CO. UTica, N. Y., Jan. roth, 1878. W. S. BARLOw. Dear Sir :—I have been selling the White Bronze Monuments some over two years. There are now over one hundred of our style of monuments in Oneida and ‘jefferson counties, and in no instance have they failed to give entire satisfaction. This is the third winter I have had monuments of this kind standing, and they are as fine and beautiful as they were the first day they were erected. They are rap- idly gaining advocates, and many express themselves enthusiastically in their favor. I find I am apt to get an unprejudiced opinion from those who do not want to buy. Such often express regret of having invested in stone. Outside of the spirit of self- ishness, most every intelligent person will admit (on general principles) that a non- corrosive metal will resist the action of the elements while stone will not. People are also fast becoming to realize that the va/we of a monument is to ferpetuate a record of the departed. When the fact is appreciated that the fine outlines of the lettering are retained legible while the monument endures, the case is ours. His- tory, science, experience and common sense all support the principles involved as correct. I fully believe the ‘‘metal age” is in advance of the ‘‘stone age,” and the wheels of progress never roll backwards ; also that the progress of the manu- facture of the White Bronze Monuments and their introduction has been as rapid as any improvement could be that conflicts with a large established business, involving a great army of interested people whose bread and butter is likely to be jeopard- ized, “But such is the law of progress, and all must abide the consequences. As about the only opposition I meet with comes from marble and granite dealers, I consider the success of the ‘‘ White Bronze Monuments” established beyond a doubt. Yours truly, L. B. DEVENDORF. MILLER’s FALLS, Mass., Jan. 25, 1878. W. S. BaRLow. Dear Sir :—I am happy to give you and any one the result of my success in sell- ing the White Bronze Monuments. It went a little slow at first ; but the sober second thought of the educated and intelligent people was generally in my favor. This was especially true with Prof. Haris of Amherst College, who gave me a good certificate after carefully examining the material of which the monuments are composed. These facts made me strong to meet all opposition, and I soon found iteasier to sell from six to ten a week than at first to sell one in two weeks. I have already commenced taking up old marble to be replaced with ‘*White Bronze.” One man who paid $275 for an Italian marble monument eight or nine years ago, which had already turned its color considerably, had it take. down, and I sold him our No, 65, price $425, which I put in its place. Marble men who were very in- credulous and made me more or less trouble, have, during the past season, applied to me for an agency to sell these monuments. The reputation of the White Bronze Monuments in my territory is fully established. Not one of my many pur- chasers has ever expressed a word of disappointment, but all seem to be thankful that this improvement came in time for them, while hundreds who had secured monuments of stone regret that they had not waited yet a Little longer. Kespectfully yours, A. L.. CARLETON. From Cyrus W. Chapman, who was eight years Postmaster of New Bedford. New BrEeprForD, Mass., Jan. 10, 1878. W. S. BaRLow. Dear Sir :—The sale of the White Bronze Monuments in this city and vicinity is increasing in popular favor. I have recently sold No. 84 to the Mayor of New 16 WHITE BRONZE MONUMENTS, STATUARY, ETC. Bedford, and it now adorns one of the finest lots in our beautiful cemetery. No commendation that I could write would more than express his admiration of this superb specimen of art; indeed, he is more than delighted with it. Parties to whom I sold monuments nearly two years since begin now to realize the wisdom of their choice, as they already have proof that so far, at least, there is no deterioration of their beauty—that no weather, no heat nor cold, has any effect upon these sub- stantial and beautiful structures. In our cemetery there are wooden posts that were capped with cast zinc over 42 years ago, and there is no sign of corrosion or any marks of age upon the metal, unless that it has actually made it more beautiful. This accidental proof of the changeless nature of zinc when exposed to the atmosphere has been of much service to me in demonstrating the great value of the material of which White Bronze is mostly composed Yours, &c., C. W. CHAPMAN. From the Capital of the Old Marble State. MONTPELIER, VT., January 29, 1878. I have been in the business a little over a year, and the White Bronze work is represented in eight cemeteries in this, Washington County, and I see no reason why I shall not have good sales this coming year, as all customers that I have sold to are well pleased with the work. I visited the manufactory of the White Bronze Monuments at Bridgeport, Conn., last November, and spent one day look- ing over their works. I was well pleased with what I saw, for they have facilities for doing a large amount of work, and of the best class. My experience in busi- ness with the manufacturers is, that they are a square, honorable-dealing firm, and can be relied on. I am fully satisfied that White Bronze is the best material now in use for cemetery purposes. A. BANCROFT, Agent for Montpelier, Vermont. WORCESTER, Mass., January 26, 1878. Mr. W. S. BARLow, Dear Sir :—Some two years since a committee was appointed for buying head- stones to place at the head of soldiers’ graves in the town of Millbury, County of Worcester, Mass. They were about closing’ the trade with a marble dealer for marble stones, when their attention was called to the White Bronze Monuments, and, after looking into the matter thoroughly, decided in favor of the White Bronze over marble, and gave us an order for between thirty-five and forty, we agreeing to furnish more as fast as required for deceased soldiers, so that up to the present time the number reaches nearly fifty, and the committee have one and all spoken highly of them. I would also say we have had no fault found with any monuments we have sold, but all seem to be very much pleased. WNhile marble men have stren- uously opposed us, we are willing to point to our monument in Athol, and wonder if the marble man is willing to point to his standing beside it, cracked down the shaft, both put up the past season, Yours, GEO. SESSIONS, Agent for Worcester Co., Mass. Newron, N. J., January 8th, 1878. W. S. BaRLow. Dear Sir :—T have been engaged more or less of the time the past two years in the sale of the White Bronze Monuments. Have sold and erected about forty in my county (Sussex). I have had the pleasure of talking with many of my purchas- ers, who have given me assurance of the greatest satisfaction with their purchases, stating that their monuments remain as beautiful as when erected, and to-day a man ~ of well-to-do means and of fine business capacity, who was one of the parties to a - purchase of a $285 monument about a year since, called for and took my book of designs, stating that one of his neighbors, a wealthy farmer, wanted one of our kind. One party rode fourteen miles to see one of our $112 styles, which so thor- oughly converted and happily impressed them that they purchased a $337 shaft of me. I also sold the best portion of Orange county to a marble dealer who was de- termined to have the territory around him, and has since been selling the White Bronze Monuments. I could specify many cases of interest where our best citizens, after carefully studying the respective merits of White Bronze and stone. were strongly in favor of ours. One of our leading merchants bought a $310 shaft, who is greatly pleased. These are only a few of the facts I could state but for room. Truly yours, CHESTER L. TEEL, Ex-Principal Collegiate Institute, Newion, N. J. WHITE BRONZE MONUMENTS, STATUARY, ETC. 17 LEBANON, WARREN Co., Onto, Feb. 5, 1878. Tris CERTIFIES that about one year ago I secured the agency for the sale of the White Bronze Monuments in Warren County, and a few months subsequently for Butler County also, I did not expect to make many sales, being engaged quite ex- tensively in the marble and granite business, and must necessarily place them side by side. The comparison resulted in very much better success with the White Bronze than I expected. People of intelligence were soon convinced that the . White Bronze Monuments were superior to granite or marble, both in beauty and durability, and gave them their preference. My observation and experience con- firms the statements made by Rinaldo Adams in his examination of the marble and granite monuments in the cemetery at Watertown, N. Y.- [See his sworn state- ment.] I have already sold quite a number of fine shaft monuments and other de- signs—enough to more than return the outlay for both counties, besides my samples and all other expenses. I find that I cannot reproduce these beautiful designs in either marble or granite, with that beauty of outline and detail, for less than twice their average cost; in fact, it is nearly impossible to reproduce some of these de- signs either in granite or marble at any price. Those who have purchased the White Bronze are highly pleased with them, and I most heartily recommend them to all who wish to perpetuate the memory of dear friends in the ages yet to come. I believe these monuments will ultimately supersede all monuments of stone, JACOB SCHWARTZ, Agent for Warren and Butler Counties, Ohio, Detroit, Micu., February 13th, 1878. Mr. O. J. WILLARD, Mayville, N. Y. ; Dear Sir :—Yours received, and in answer would say that we have sold some ninety of the White Bronze Monuments in this State, ranging in prices from $18 to $500, and not in a single instance has there been any fault found with them, but rather, an universal expression of satisfaction and wonder, that so beautiful and du- rable monuments— made of so excellent material, so beautiful in design and so artistic in ornamentation—can be erected at the prices at which they are sold, and at so much less prices than marble or granite of equal style of ornamentation. Since the people have become better informed in regard to them our trade has rapidly increased. The marble dealers begin to see the ‘‘hand writing upon the wall,” and in their desperate struggle catch at every floating straw. No one need fear the success or crowning popularity of these monuments, Some of our local agents are now having the entire trade of their counties. We have just received an order to-day from one of our agents for six monuments, who writes that some of the monuments were purchased by the principal officials of his county. From our experience we most heartily commend the White Bronze Monuments to all, They will fill the bill. Truly yours, EAKINS & COMPANY, No. 34 Jefferson Ave., Detroit, General Agents for the State of Michigan. New CastTLe, INpD., February 18, 1878. WILSON, SCHUYLER & Co. Gentlemen: —We send you to-day four more orders, and have several more to send to be filled later in the season. The County Commissioners have decided to take No. 40 monument, 26 feet high, 9 feet base, to be erected in the Court House Circle to the memory of deceased soldiers. A wealthy minister, seeing one of our monu- ments at Alexandria, said it was the richest of anything he ever saw. Being an ad- ministrator of several estates, he said he should recommenz it to all. Very truly yours, HAMILTON & CANADAY BROTHERS. DecoraH, Iowa, February 9, 1878. Mr. O. J. WILLARD, Mayville, N. Y. Dear Sir:—In response to yours of the 3d would say, our business is steadily improving, and the monuments are greatly admired and in every case have given perfect satisfaction. Their general adoption is only a question of time. Respectfully yours, FIELD BROTHERS & CQ. 18 WHITE BRONZE MONUMENTS, STATUARY, ETC, {=~ Ten Marble Headstones replaced with White Bronze. A sample of many other cases. MIDDLEFIELD, Mass., October 12, 1877. A. L. Cariton, Esq., Miller’s Falls, Mass, ' ; Dear Sir :—During the past thirty years I have buried ten members of my family in the cemetery in this place, and erected both head and foot stones of marble at their graves. Within a very few years they changed color, became dingy, moss covered, and were rapidly decaying, so much so that it was quite difficult to read the inscriptions upon them. Some few months ago I noticed and read an adver- tisement in our paper of your White Bronze Monuments. I sent to Mr, T. D. Hewitt, your agent, at Worthington, Mass., for some of your circulars, and read them carefully, together with the certificates of many of the eminent scientific men of this and other countries, and of those who had purchased and erected them. I became fully convinced that the White Bronze Monuments were enduring, and when exposed to the action of the elements became perfectly protected from change or decay, and that they would eventually supersede the moss-covered, decayed and worthless monuments of stone in our cemeteries, I gave Mr. Hewitt my order for a $425 White Bronze Monument. It has been received and erected in the centre of my lot—having removed all the marble—and I cannot find words to express my pleasure and satisfaction with it. I then ordered six of the White Bronze Head- markers. They are all received and put in place, and the whole is beautiful beyond description. All who have seen the monument and the markers say that there is nothing in the county, of stone of any kind, as beautiful. If those who contemplate erecting monuments will inform themselves as to the enduring material of which the White Bronze Monuments are made, they will erect none other. You may rest assured that this is the honest conviction of Yours truly, HARVEY ROOT. Letter from the Mayor of New Bedford, Mass. Mayor’s OrFIcre, NEw BEDForRD, Mass , January 4, 1878. Rey. D. G. Braprorp, Princeton, Ill. Dear Sir :—Y our letter of inquiry is received. I am very much pleased with the purchase of my White Bronze Monument, and have no hesitation in advising others to ‘‘do likewise.” I see no reason for doubting that these monuments will, toa great extent, supersede marble and granite ; for they are more beautiful, and I be- lieve more enduring. Very truly yours, A. BORDEN, Mayor. Washington Hall Block, WATERTOWN, JEFFERSON Co., N, Y., Feb. 5th, 1878. O. J. WILLARD, Esq., Mayville, N.Y. ** My Dear Sir :—Y our favor of the 2d is just received, making inquiries in regard to my success in introducing and selling the White Bronze Monuments in Northern New York. You ask, rst— ‘‘How I have succeeded ?” I answer, very well in- deed, considering the very hard times that we are passing through. In the two years I have been selling these monuments I have sold upwards of one hundred in all—a few of them yet to be delivered. You ask, 2d—‘* Do the monuments hold their color, or change in any way?” TI answer, they are exactly the same as when erected, no change whatever is perceptible, and no one claims, not even the marble dealers, that they have changed. They are all giving entire satisfaction, and every one that buys and uses these monuments tells me they will never buy any more mar- ble for cemetery purposes, because they are fully satisfied that the White Bronze is more enduring than marble, or even granite. You ask, 3d—‘‘Is the trade increas- ing or not?” Answer—it is improving all the time. In the second year I sold much more than in the first year, and the prospect bids fair for a much larger busi- ness this, the third year, and I am confident the sales will be equal to those of the first and second years together. The people now come direct to me, and do not depend so much upon the misrepresentations of the marble concerns, Yours truly, RINALDO ADAMS, Agent for Jefferson County, N. Y. OFFICE OF THE WHITE BRONZE MONUMENTS, WHITE BRONZE MONUMENTS, STATUARY, ETC. 1g Tuis CERTIFIES that after the experience of nearly three years in the business, and having ordered and set up nearly one hundred White Bronze Monuments i. Western New York, I can truly testify that they are much to be preferred to any kind of stone. Their beauty of color and the fine artistic work are everywhere ad- mired, and the raised emblems and inscriptions are esfeczad/y pleasing when in con- trast with the zdéstinct lettering on all kinds of stone monuments. It seems clear to me that people everywhere, when they fully comprehend the enduring quality and beauty of the White Bronze, and when they observe the fact so apparent throughout the land, that thousands of the monuments, both marble and granite, erected within the last fifty years, are in ruins—cracked, broken and covered with moss—they will decide to erect no more monuments of stone, but the unchanging and ever-enduring White Bronze. C. D. BROOKS, Pittsford, Monroe County, N. Y. Mount CLEMENS, MICH., February, 1878. Tuts CERTIFIES that I have been selling the White Bronze Monuments for some six months. Among my sales are two No. 65 Monuments, at a cost each of $425. One of these is erected near Romeo, and I have heard nothing but admiration expressed concerning it. Competent judges pronounce it far superior in appearance to any marble or stone monument in the county. This is an important statement, when we affirm that there are marble monuments in this county costing $1,500. Yours truly, A. MARTELL. we” Four Hundred Guns from San Francisco ! SAN FRANCISCO, CAL., February 14th, 1878. W. S. BARLOw. Dear Sir :—The Washington Medallions have just arrived, and are admired by all who have had the privilege of examining them, I think the sale of the White Bronze Monuments will be greatly benefited by the production of this beautifu work of art. The monuments are gradually gaining ground on this coast, and are doing so on their merits alone, with very little to aid me in the way of advertising. I have sold in a little over one year nearly four hundred (400) different styles and designs of the work. Believing the White Bronze is at no distant day destined to supersede most other material in works of art, I remain, Yours, very truly, Ji DeEGRAY: We are prepared to produce correct pictures of individuals in the shape of medallion portraits, half, three-quarter, or life size, which we can model from seeing photos, or the living subject ; having competent artists employed at our works, who are also skillful in producing portrait busts and life size portrait statues. Statuary will soon be a leading feature of our business, and on all staple pieces, such as are not special orders, we will fix the retail prices the same as on the monuments ; but special orders— by which we mean portrait busts, statues, &c.—necessarily cost largely in advance of regular staple pieces, as the models and patterns can only be used once or twice, as the case may be. Our White Bronze Statuary and Tablets can be placed on gran- ite or the whitest of marble, which it will never stain or discolor. 20 WHITE BRONZE MONUMENTS, STATUARY, ETC, Extreme Measurement of Plate, 17x 21 in Life size medallion of Pope Pius, IX., modeled and cast in White Bronze by Schuyler, Parsons, Landon & Co., the value of which is readily. told by the following letter from Archbishop Wood, of Philadelphia, Pa., viz: ARCHDIOCESE OF PHILADELPHIA, CATHEDRAL, LOGAN SQUARE, ) PHILADELPHIA, F ebruary 23, 1878. ) W.
