The only Monuments in the world that will not change in color and lose their beauty, absorb the green from trees, turn dark and dingy, become moss-grown and go to ruin.BSr’The color of our White Bronze Monuments so closely resembles a light and sparkling Gray Granite,, that at a distance of 30 feet it js difficult to tell one from the other. They are guaranteed to retain their original beanty. without change of color or corrosion, and to never beoome moss-grown, or absorb the green from trees, but will ever remainAS BEAUTIFUL AS WHEN FIRST ERECTED!Our White Bronze Monuments, to be sure, are not white,but they are as beautiful, and almost exactly the coloi of a light and sparkling way Granite, which is admired fcy every one, but whtch is eo expensive and difficult to work, that it precludes its UBe by the masses; still it is_ stone, and bound to disintegrate, become moss-grown, and in time go to ruin, tho not one-half as quickly as marble. In place of plain baekB, as in the case of marble or granite, the backs of the White Bronze^ Monuments are as beautifully' ornamented as the front and without additional expense. AIbo the letters for Inscriptions and Ornamental Work, such as _Wreaths of Flowers, Bouquets, Hoses, Anchors, Crosses, etc,, are all raised work, and cast solid with the Tablet without additional expense, as in the case of stone. Hence there can be no breaking or cracking off the letters by action of the frost.TBST33IOHnAX.S.AB0BU1Q089S OF PHILADELPHIA, CATHEDRA!., LOOAK SQUARE.!Philadelphia, February 23d, 1878. 1W Dc?rSlr:~I liavo^een anil Admired yonrbeautiful Medallionof Popo Plus I^is most striking, and the -whole work la excellent tnslc.
