Capitol Marble and Granite Company of Austin with a Granite Shoals plant won a 1.08 million dollar contract to provide stone for expanding the Everett Dickson Senate Office Building in Washington.

The job, one of the company’s largest, will keep the quarry in full operation all summer and will determine if current manpower suffices.
