Many handsome and costly memorials of Extra Fine Grained Blue-White Westerly Granite, as well as exquisite examples of more modest character, are in all cemeteries where high class work is found. The Use of Extra Fine Qrained Blue-White Westerly Qranite World Wide Extra Fine Grained Blue-White Westerly Granite is the granite of beauty and excellence called for by all countries for memorials of artistic worth and distinction. Many of the cemeteries of Europe contain memorials of this granite. The Hawaiian Islands and far-away South Africa are familiar with the memorial of this matchless material. Almost unadvertised, on its merits alone, a world-wide demand has been created for Extra Fine Grained Blue-White Westerly Granite.

It is an absolutely essential basic element. The dealer’s business security and the safety of his investment depend in the long run more upon this one factor than upon any other fundamental principle of his business. Every other expense connected with the construction and erection of a memorial is practically the same, regardless of the material used. The Policy of the Successful Dealer It will invariably be found that dealers who have achieved a notable success employ good stock. They know in what measure [ in HORNER MEMORIAL, HOMEWOOD CEMETERY, PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA ( Base io feet by 6 feet 2 inches. Total height 4 feet 6 inches) KRAUTHOFF MEMORIAL, WOODLAWN CEMETERY, NEW YORK (Base 12 feet by 6 feet 3 inches. Total height 4 feet 6 inches) [ 12 ] their business progress is due to the sterling quality of the stone they use and do not waste fine workmanship and beauty of design on material giving results below their standard. Extra Fine Qrained Blue-White Westerly Qranite a Perpetual Asset The selection of Extra Fine Grained Blue-White Westerly Granite is absolute assurance of satisfaction. Every memorial of this granite which the dealer erects becomes a perpetual asset backing his business reputation and prosperity. Our Customers Make ISIo Experiment The use of Extra Fine Grained Blue-White Westerly Granite is not an experiment with an untried product. It has stood the test of years and is backed by a long service record of continued and increasing favor and popularity.

It was quickly recognized as a granite exceedingly well fitted for the construction of beautiful and enduring memorials; hence its shipment all over the United States and Canada and to every part of the world for such purpose. The Term Blue-White Extra Fine Grained Blue-White Westerly Granite when polished is a pleasing blue color, and when hammered is very white. In sections where polished work is in greatest demand, [ 15 ] *.v.' 1 . jBfc, j | 5 | 'ivA' tf&Vjra'‘ |Sf| llgf ■SB. [ 16] BLACKSTONE MEMORIAL, YANTIC CEMETERY, NORWICH, CONNECTICUT {The Blackstone Memorial is all polished, including moldings and carving ) this granite was formerly termed Blue Westerly, and where ham¬ mered work is most called for, it was generally known as White Westerly—from this resulted the name Blue-White Westerly. Used Only for Memorial Purposes Extra Fine Grained Blue-White Westerly is of equal quality at whatever depth found. The entire product is used exclusively for memorial purposes. Full Value at Its List Price Much expense is involved in the production of Extra Fine Grained Blue-White Westerly Granite owing to the great amount of overburden and other difficulties experienced in its quarrying. Consequently this granite must be sold at a price in accordance with its cost of production. Its superiority over other granites, however, gives full value at the list price. Its use is a profit- bearing investment. Many Dealers Using Extra Fine Qrained Blue-White Westerly Exclusively Dealers everywhere should appreciate the advantage of being able to procure promptly and in any quantity this carefully se¬ lected and thoroughly reliable granite. Many dealers are using Extra Fine Grained Blue-White Westerly Granite exclusively. Memorial Qranite A granite must have certain distinguishing qualities to be considered a memorial granite. Many memorial granites have several of these qualities, but Extra Fine Grained Blue-White Westerly is the one known granite which combines all the essen¬ tial and desirable qualities of a memorial granite. It is a stone of extreme beauty and durability, absolutely free from flaws. [ 17 ] BELFIELD MEMORIAL, SWAN POINT CEMETERY, PROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND [ 18] J*. Among the Hardest, Densest , and Heaviest Qranites Known Too frequently wearing qualities are overlooked in the selec¬ tion of memorials, and our cemeteries in consequence show many fallen, crumbled, and discolored stones. Extra Fine Grained Blue-White Westerly is among the hardest, densest, and heaviest granites known, and is totally free from all the mineral substances which cause deterioration and disintegration. It has proved a positively dependable material in this respect. It takes a high, mirror-like polish, permanent and unfading. Lettering and Carving The light, soft color and even grain of Extra Fine Grained Blue-White Westerly give splendid results in carving and sculp¬ ture. The grain is so fine that the effect is one of even texture. Ornamentation on this beautiful granite stands out with remark¬ able clearness. Another most important point is perfect legibility of lettering. Even V-sunk letters, whether cut in the polished or hammered surface, show up with complete distinctness, not only when first chiseled but forever after. On account of the nature of the granite, which allows clear, sharp edges to be cut, raised letters of whatever style surpass both in appearance and legi¬ bility the same lettering on any other granite. These attributes with the natural beauty of the stone make the selection of Extra Fine Grained Blue-White Westerly Granite the most desirable for a thoroughly satisfying memorial — the memorial which when placed in the cemetery compels approving attention and brings other orders to the dealer whose wisdom and foresight advised its selection. An Unchanging Testimonial to Qood Taste and Judgment The use of Extra Fine Grained Blue-White Westerly Granite is indisputably to the advantage of both dealer and customer. Memorials of this granite remain an unchanging testimonial to the good taste and judgment of those who selected them.

No degree of business efficiency or loud acclaim of the virtues of our stock could create the continued and wide demand that exists for our granite if it were not actually of well-tested superiority. The Entire Output of Extra Fine Qrained Blue-White Westerly Qranite Produced by the Sullivan Qranite Company The entire output of Extra Fine Grained Blue-White Westerly Granite is produced by the Sullivan Granite Company. The property consists of more than eight hundred acres. We have acquired in addition to the Crumb Quarry and the John B. Sullivan Quarry the Newall Quarry, formerly operated by Joseph Newall & Company; the “Klondike” Quarry, formerly operated by the Gourlay Granite Works, and the Thompson-Reinhalter Quarry, all nationally known. These with several of our smaller quarries include all of the famous Westerly quarries which pn> duce the Extra Fine Grained Blue-White Westerly Granite. We are conducting one of the most extensive quarrying opera¬ tions in the United States, with every conceivable modern appli¬ ance for facilitating the production and shipping of granite. A large force of men is employed and the entire plant is kept con¬ stantly busy to meet the demand for this high grade stock. We have every facility for handling large orders up to the limit of transportation, while the small order receives exactly the same degree of attention which is given a large one. Our quarries are worked during the entire winter—a valuable aid to our customers in making early preparations for the spring activity. Only One Qrade Shipped — Inspected Stock Only perfect stock is shipped. Every stone undergoes rigid inspection before leaving our quarries.

It is one of the important places between New York and Boston, and all express trains make regu¬ lar stops. The granite quarries and cutting plants employ a con¬ siderable percentage of the population. The Sullivan quarries are about five miles east of the center of Westerly in that part of the town known as Bradford. No Charge for Transportation to Our Quarries Automobiles meet all trains upon arrival in Westerly and by arrangement there is no charge for transportation to the quarries of the Sullivan Granite Company. Visitors are always welcome, whether customers, prospective customers, or sightseers. [ 27 ] OPENING OF ONE OF THE REMARKABLE UNDERCUTS DEVELOPED BY OUR NEW QUARRYING METHODS (This opening is no feet below surface. It is lyy feet ■wide by 65 feet high and extends back into the ledge more than 100 feet. The roof composed of waste rock, slopes down at an angle of 45 degrees and in the rear is 160 feet thick) [ 28 ] QUARRYING TWO HUNDRED FEET UNDERGROUND The Quarries f I ’HE quarries present an interesting and busy scene. Some ^ two hundred feet below ground many men are engaged in the operation of drills and in cutting large blocks of granite from the ledges. The surface with its far-reaching stretch of buildings, power-operated derricks, loaded flat-cars, piles of dimension stone ready for shipment marked with our well-known red size numbers and trademark, giant locomotive cranes hand¬ ling huge blocks of granite or operating orange-peel buckets stripping off new ground, is a scene indicative of the scope of our quarrying. Near the John B. Sullivan Quarry a granite building houses a twin angle, compound, direct connected air compressor, driven by a 225 H. P. synchronous motor. This compressor furnishes 1500 cubic feet of air per minute, and with the smaller compressors in operation gives a total capacity of 2100 cubic feet per minute. The air is distributed through a system of pipes and tanks to all the quarries. [ 29 ] SCENES IN THE JOHN B. SULLIVAN QUARRY (Note the development of this quarry.

These large central boiler plants are used instead of many small boilers — a system designed both for efficiency and economy. The combined capacity of the different steam plants is 800 H. P. Motor-driven pumps pump out the quarries at night that they may be dry in the morning. Qeological Formation Numerous problems are encountered in the quarrying of Extra Fine Grained Blue-White Westerly Granite which do not beset the producer of many other granites. Foremost of these difficulties is the direction in which the vein runs. About 75 feet in width, it dips down into the earth at an angle of approximately 45 degrees. Each foot it is followed down in¬ creases the overburden thickness. When the stone to be quarried lies nearly 200 feet underground, as in some of the Sullivan quarries, contending with the waste product is a matter of considerable magnitude. In many places more than 100 feet of solid rock must be removed before marketable granite is reached. The hardness of Extra Fine Grained Blue-White Westerly Granite and the fact that the run of the stone is at an acute angle to the beds are other features which contribute to the difficulty of production. Quarrying by Our Undercut Method First of Its Kind in the World The remarkable undercuts which we have successfully estab¬ lished in the quarries where the employment of this method is [ 33 ] BLOCK FROM WHICH BASE IN LOWER ILLUSTRATION WAS QUARRIED LARGE BASE ON CAR READY FOR SHIPMENT (Length 42 feet, 'width 10 feet 4 inches, height 1 foot 10 inches ) [ 34 ] possible do away with the Herculean task of stripping off the oven burden. These undercuts prove of keen interest to all visitors. We are the first granite quarriers in the world to quarry granite by tunneling. It was always thought impossible, but after care- ful study we were convinced of its feasibility, and our extensive undercuts prove the success of the method. The roof of the undercut in the Crumb Quarry is 110 feet thick at the opening and slopes back and down at an angle of about 45 degrees. This 110 feet is composed of almost solid rock of a waste nature which under the old method would have to be removed before quarrying the granite beneath it. From the undercut in the John B. Sullivan Quarry, the largest producer in Westerly, blocks of extremely large dimension are obtained. A tremendous expanse of granite is visible in this quarry, lying in unbroken sheets many feet in thickness. Fifty'three Ton Blocks The illustration on the opposite page shows a base taken from one of our undercuts. A study of the illustration will give a definite idea of the size of this piece of granite. Free from flaws, it represents a fine specimen of the size and perfection of the stone we are able to produce. This 53-ton piece of stock, 42 feet by 10 feet 4 inches by 1 foot 10 inches, was quarried from a ledge 75 feet below surface. It was cut from an immense block of granite several times its thickness. The holes drilled in its quarrying were “ lift-holes,” drilled hori¬ zontally, and instead of being broken from the ledge by means of wedges it was split by the use of steam — a new method discovered by us and used most successfully in quarrying large blocks. This [ 35 ] QUARRYING FAR BELOW SURFACE STRIPPING WITH STATIONARY DERRICK AND ORANGE-PEEL BUCKET [ 36 ] particular piece of granite illustrated was used as a bottom base for one of the most imposing memorials yet erected in any of our cemeteries. It was placed in Kensico Cemetery, New York. All the stock for this memorial was supplied by us. The manufac¬ turer to whom the shipment went wrote in connection with the large base: “We wish to thank you for the interest taken in fur¬ nishing us this piece of stock. It is a fine, clear piece of granite and the best pattern any quarry could produce. This monument will be a credit to Extra Fine Grained Blue-White Westerly Granite and is sure to bring future business to both of us.” We receive a great many letters of this kind from our customers. What Quarrying to Dimension Means If we could get out our stone without regard to size or shape, the matter of quarrying would be much simplified, but every stone must be quarried to the dimension ordered by the customer. The selection of the location for drilling and the size and shape of the holes are matters which must be under intelligent control. The piece of rough dimension Extra Fine Grained Blue-White West¬ erly fresh from the depths of the earth where it has lain for countless centuries does not reveal the complexity of the processes involved in its production. Much care and labor have been ex¬ pended and much waste stone quarried and discarded in order to produce this perfect specimen. Keeping Ahead of Depletion Every few years parts of the various quarries become depleted and this necessitates the moving of derricks and machinery to new sites of operation. Constant development work must be carried on in extending the quarries so that at all times an ample supply of the best of stock may be available for prompt shipment. [ 37 ] LOCOMOTIVE CRANES OF FORTY AND THIRTY TONS CAPACITY WHICH HANDLE LARGE BLOCKS OF GRANITE ECONOMICALLY AND EFFICIENTLY [ 38 ] The Important Factors Essential to Success in Quarrying Qranite Quarrying granite on a large scale involves an immense ex- penditure and a vast amount of labor. It means a very consider¬ able investment in land and equipment and unremitting attention to the innumerable factors contributing to successful accomplish¬ ment. The actual producing of the stone is not all; there is the upkeep of the entire plant, the marketing of the product, the constant and vigilant inspection of the stone to assure the shipping of only perfect stock, and numberless other important details demanding unceasing consideration and effort.

Geological Survey) I , « PARDEE MEMORIAL, NEW HAVEN, CONNECTICUT T^ELDSPAR is the most conspicu- ^ ous and generally the most abun- dant mineral in granite. The color or colors of the Feldspar usually determine to a large extent the general tint of the stone. The most distinctive feature of granite is the character of its grain. Some granites are even grained, others uneven. Of importance is the relative coarseness or fineness of grain in an even grained granite. Three grades of texture of this sort may be distinguished: coarse, me- dium, and fine. Specific Qravity of Extra Fine Qrained BluC'White Westerly Qranite The specific gravity of Extra Fine Grained Blue-White West¬ erly is 2.654, which is equivalent to 165 pounds to the cubic foot, and places it among the heaviest granites.

The usual compressive strength of granite ranges from 18,000 to 34,000 pounds per square inch. A compressive test made at the United States Arsenal at Watertown, Massachusetts, in 1907, of Extra Fine Grained Blue- White Westerly Granite, showed a crushing strength of 29,500 pounds per square inch—a very high record and much in excess of most granites.

Our cemetery corpora¬ tions are spending large sums upon the care of the cemetery and its development along lines of dignity and beauty, and conse¬ quently they are much interested in seeing memorials erected that are fitting and in harmony with the surroundings prepared for them. The memorial builder whose work wins sure reward is he who intelligently assists his customer to select the memorial of such faultless material and of such harmony with its setting as to command the admiration of every beholder.
