PERI EAE A OME S, 
 
 NTRODUCTORY to this Illustrated Catalogue, which is intended to give some idea of the various 
 uses for which our marbles are especially adapted, we take occasion to say a few words 
 about ourselves and our product. 
 
 The BARNEY MARBLE COMPANY is a corporation recently organized for the purpose 
 of producing and manufacturing the so-called Champlain Marbles, at Swanton, Vt, and suc- 
 ceeds to the business heretofore carried on by Geo. & R. L. Barney. 
 
 By extensive additions and improvements, giving largely increased facilities, we hope to be 
 able to introduce to the favorable notice of Architects and Builders, and create a more general 
 cemand for, what have come to be recognized as among the most beautiful marbles in use. 
 
 . The Champlain Marbles are more desirable in quality and cheaper in price than any of the 
 imported fancy marbles, and are the best in the world for service, combining fine shades of 
 coloring with a texture and composition that stands the hardest usage. 
 
 The different layers of these marbles are known to the trade by distinctive names, more or 
 less descriptive; fac-similes of which are herewith presented and designated as follows, viz.: Olive, 
 
 1 
 
‘ 
 
 Lyonaise, Jasper, Mosaic, Cnocolate, Japanese, Pearl-Rouge, Griotte, Formosa, Rosatelle, Pompeiian 
 Red, Ophite, French Gray, Le Panto, Verde-Antique, Swanton Dove, and Black. 
 
 In connection with these hard-colored marbles, we also use and furnish to order Pittsford 
 Blue and Florentine, American, Italian, and the White Marbles of Rutland. 
 
 Our predecessors made a specialty of Flooring-tiles, and samples of their work in this line 
 may be seenin many of the public and private buildings in all of the principal cities of the country, 
 to wit: in the U. S. Customs and Post Office Buildings, in Boston, Washington, Milwaukee, 
 Madison, Dubuque, Burlington, Vt., Trenton, Raleigh, Cleveland, Peoria, and Kansas City. In the 
 Treasury Building, New National Museum, State, War, and Navy Departments, Patent Office (old and 
 new), Metropolitan and National Hotels, all at Washington, D. C.; also in the State Capitol Builaings 
 in Vermont, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Ohio, and Indiana; in Court Houses in twelve different 
 States, and hotels without number in New York, Boston, Philadelphia, and all the principal cities, 
 east and west. Some first-class work in the Champ'ain marbles can also be seen in the new Art 
 Museum, Cincinnati, O., and in Memorial Hall, ‘‘ Times” and ‘ Record’ Buildings, Philadelphia; and in 
 many banking-houses throughout the country. 
 
 Tile floors laid entirely in our Champlain marbles practically last forever. Floors subject to 
 constant use for 20 years show no perceptible wear; and for wainscoting and all interior deco- 
 ration, the beautiful natural formations and rare colors of the Champiain marbles, brought out under 
 the high polish of which they are susceptible, furnish a rich and elegant material. 
 
 As evidence of the high estimate of the value placed on these marbles, we subjoin a few 
 
 testimonials of disinterested parties, practical marble men and others.

 *T regard the Champlain Marbles as excelling in beauty and quality any of all 
 ‘-T have worked (innearly forty years’ experience) or any that I have seen in Italy, 
 ‘France, or Germany. Among the many foreign marbles, few equal the Cham- 
 ‘‘plain. Their superiority in solidity and texture, the high polish of which they 
 *‘ are susceptible, their reliability in working, coupled with the fact that they can be 
 ‘ furnished in large-sized blocks, give them an increased value. They have all the 
 ‘requisite qual.ties to make them favorite marbles for general use. For cabinet 
 “furniture and interior finish of public and private buildings, they are hard to 
 ‘‘equal. Weused them in the Custom House in this city, and wherever we have 
 “used them they have given entire satisfaction.” 
 
 
 
 “Having used a quantity of this marble, we find it superior to any other 
 * American marble now known. In its fine and even texture, and entire absence of 
 ‘seams, cracks and sand-holes and other defects, it admits of a polish which 
 “throws the best specimens of European marble into the shade. The extreme 
 “‘*hardness, and brilliant colors, will make ita favorite stone for first-class floor - 
 * tiling, and we have no doubt that when it is generally known to the public, it will 
 
 *- supersede every other marble now employed, for counter. buffet or furniture tops, 
 
 *- or columns.” 
 
 a] 
 
‘““My knowledge of the Champlain Marbles, derived from experience while 
 ‘interested, some years since, in this city, in the marble business, under the firm 
 *“‘name of Eagleson & DeVeau, convinced me that they are of a much finer texture, 
 “and susceptible of a higher gloss and better finish, than any other native pro- 
 “ ductions ; and being stronger, closer grained, and requiring no wax in the process 
 “of finishing, they have in these respects a decided advantage over many of the 
 “foreign colored marbles brought into this country. While these marbles are 
 “harder than many others, their superiority in many respects, especially in beauty, 
 “firmness, and durability, combined with a comparatively low cost of production, 
 ‘must result in their taking the place of many of the colored marbles now used in 
 
 ‘New York and elsewhere.”

 In addition to the above opinions of well-known practical men, we add a few letters (or 
 extracts therefrom) received by us, without solicitation, from parties who have had dealings with 
 us, and used our marbles for various purposes. 
 
 Concorp, N. H., November 13, 1876. 
 Thinking you may like to hear from us now that we have our marble floor nicely Jaid in our new store, we 
 can only say that we are highly pleased with it and are glad that we laid the entire floor in LYoNAIsE MARBLE. 
 We are satisfied that we made a wise choice in giving this the preference over all other marbles. All our friends 
 who have seen it, agree with us that it is the handsomest floor they ever saw. 
 Yours, etc., 
 MORRILL BROS.

 GENTLEMEN : 
 
 | Your letter of the 5th inst., asking us in regard to the Lyonaise marble floor, has been received, and 
 | we can say that we are more than pleased with it. Having used it twelve vears this fall, we cannot see that it is 
 ‘worn atali. It is easy to keep in order, and nothing stains it. Occasional washing keeps it bright and fresh. 
 Many interested parties, who were building, came in to see how our floor wears, and it was through us that the 
 State Capital Bank used the same tiling. We can recommend to any one in want of tiling the Lyonatse as, in 
 our opinion, the Best for such use.

 GENTLEMEN : 
 
 Referring to your favor of December 22d, I have only to say, in building the Hotel Brunswick here, 
 two years ago, we used a large amount of your floor-tiling in our office and hall floors, of various colors. We 
 consider that we have the handsomest tile floor in the United States. I have seen nothing prettier, or equal to it, 
 in Chicago or New York City.

 GENTLEMEN : 
 
 I have received the marble slab, in good condition, and just right as to size and shape. It is greatly 
 admired for its beauty. I regard it as the most beautiful marble in the United States, and is scarcely excelled by 
 anything abroad. I send you my check to cover bill, and add my thanks. 
 
 Yours truly,

 I have completed my block, and am much pleased with your LyonaIsE MARBLE, and the mechanical 
 part is first-class. Everyone pronounces the columns very ornamental. I expect to find use for more of your

 GENTLEMEN : 
 
 The columns which you furnished for our church have been very much admired. The soft, rich ard 
 varied colors of the Lyonatsm, and its brilliant polish, will bear comparison, for such a purpose, with anything 
 that I have seen abroad. Am glad to hear that you are going to extend the output of your fine quarries. They 
 certainly merit wide recognition as furnishing material of great value for many departments of interior work 
 With best wishes for your suecers, I am,

 GENTLEMEN : 
 
 Iam in receipt of your favor of the 5th inst., and would say in reply, that we purchased in 1887 a large 
 quantity of your Champlain Marbles for tiling and wainscoting for our new building, and the work has been 
 very much admired by everybody, and which is particularly satisfactory to us because of its hardness and con- 
 sequent ability to retain a fine polish. Yours faithfully,

 The foregoing are a few only, out of many eulogistic notices received by us; but these

 for decorative purposes in public and private buildings.

Not surpassed by anything in the line of Fancy Marbles in this country, so far as we know. Its texture 
 is fine and hard, ground color of light reddish chocolate beautifully blended with still lighter colors, and these 
 intermixed with clear white spots and veins, giving it, when polished, a very lively and beautiful appearance. 
 
 Among the public places where this marble has been largely used are the N. Y. Equitable, Murray Hill Hotel, 
 Patent Office, and National Museum. ‘

 This is one of the most beautiful and desirable marbles for general use that we produce. The bright 
 reddish and pink ground, set with numerous clear white markings, produces a striking effect. Adapted to all 
 kinds of interior decorations, especially for public buildings. The wainscoting and counters in Commercial Bank, 
 Albany, and the steps, risers, and platforms for N. Y. Life Buildings at Kansas City and Omaha, are furnished 
 
 from this variety.

 This is a new variety of the Champlain Marbles, and we cannot recommend its use in too strong terms for 
 any kind of interior work. For columns, furniture tops, or plumbers’ slabs nothing handsomer:

This variety of marble is called ‘‘ Mosaic” 
 fromits resemblance to the composite ve amare of 
 mosaic work—a beautiful effect, from the variety of 
 colors. Recommended for interior or exterior work, 
 and re Seer ne for monumental purposes, as the layer 
 is thick and of even color and figure—far ahead of 
 Scotch granite. 
 
 VERDE-ANTIQUE 
 
 ontains a mixture of green serpentine and 
 light colors. Compares favorably with the Antique, 
 and takes a high polish. Fine for panels, wainscot- 
 ing, mantels, etc. Produces a beautiful effect in com- 
 bination with red marbles.

POMPEIIAN REB 
 
 This is the only plain red marble now obtainable 
 in any quantity in the wor’/d. Named ‘ Pompeiian” 
 from its resemblance to the antique red marbles of 
 Pompeii. Adapted to all kinds of interior work, 
 especially steps, of which we furnished an order for 
 the Cincinnati New Art Museum, 
 
 A compact, dark-gray marble, having much the 
 appearance of dark granite. Shows fine fossils in 
 abundance, is easily worked. and polishes up quite 
 dark. Well adapted to wainscoting, tiling, skirting. 
 and other interior work.

GRIGTIE. 
 
 This marble has a beautiful red ground with 
 small white dots, resembling somewhat the French 
 product of same name. Makes a fine contrast with 
 Olive or Japanese. A large quantity of it used for 
 bie and border in the State Capitol Building of 
 ndiana, 
 
 @PHITE 
 
 * 
 
 Ophite (or Moriah) is very much like granite in 
 formation, and has a greenish shade of color, espe- 
 cially adapted to interior decorations. There are two 
 varieties—one plain or even in color, the other 
 mottled. A pleasant contrast in combination with 
 any of our red marbles.

 IGE: MEET a Srowing want and increasing demand Jor something new tn the 
 
 line of colored marbles, we have recently developed several ner vartettes, fac- 
 similes of which, with others that have been before the public to a “imited extent, 
 appear in the Soregoing illustrated Pages. All these marbles are hard to guarry and 
 expensive to finish ; still the prices we make are but little in excess of the soft and 
 less durable marbles, and their intrinsic merit entitles them to wide recognition, 
 The marbles we offer are almost indestructible in the matter of wear, and certainly 
 
 nothing can be more beautiful in the whole range of marble product, 
 
 gated marbles Sor domestic and aecorative purposes, rowing out of the greater 
 attention now paid by our educated classes to art in relation to domestic life, and the 
 Seneral demand for art @ecorations in all buildings, tt ts the universal testimony of 
 large dealers tn marble, that during the past few years this change has been very

 marked, stimulating the sales of the colored and variegated at the expense of the 
 veined and statuary ; the former being now most extensively used for interior deco- 
 ration, tiling, wainscoting, and furniture work, both because they do not show stains 
 and that they afford a choice of colors more in keeping with the prevailing taste of 
 the day. The extensive use made of the variegated marbles, loth in private houses of 
 the better class and in such buildings as Banks, Club-houses, Public Hails, and 
 State Capitols, has created a large demand for this variety of marble, greatly ex- 
 ceeding anything known before in this country—a demand which bids fair not only 
 to increase, but to continue permanent tn tts character. 
 
 We believe, if you want to “keep up with the procession,” that you cannot 
 better conserve your own interests in this line of your business, than by the favorable 
 mention, introduction, and use of the vartegated marbles, whenever opportunity offers. 
 
 We invite correspondence in this connection, and solicit your orders, and shall 
 be happy to furnish any information in our power to give, make estimates on plans 
 submitted or accurate plans from data given, and quote the lowest prices for anything 
 in our line, consistent with the cost of production.
