| TEXT | The business represented by the "Monumental Bronze Company," No. 37 University Place, is second to no other of its class, and may justly claim to combine the richest embellishments of art with unsurpassed workmanship. The perfection now attained in this direction by the monuments and statuary of this company cast in white bronze, which is zinc refined and made pure as silver, then superbly finished and frosted by the sand-blast and oxidized, is such that they present a beautiful silver-gray color, remaining unchanged for ages. Scientists everywhere endorse white bronze as practically indestructible, and the best material known for monuments, memorials, etc. The white bronze statue of Pop-parona, erected in Lucca, Italy, three centuries ago, is as sharp in outline and as beautiful in color as when first placed on its pedestal after three hundred years' exposure to the elements. White bronze is offered to the public on its merits, and were it thrice as expensive as granite, being in fact less, itwould even then be cheaper, as a thousand years is nothing to the life-time of it. As to the nature of marble and granite, which are porous, absorbing moisture and liable to constant disintegration, turn to any encyclopaedia, and, however sceptical, you will be immediately convinced of the perishable qualities of stone, and more than ever satisfied that white bronze is indestructible, and more suitable than any other material for monuments to mark the resting place of the dead, and to perpetuate illustrious deeds. The monuments manufactured by the Monumental Bronze Company may be seen in every cemetery in this country, and the designs, nearly approaching one thousand, are varied and highly artistic, and by a wide range of prices are adapted to the requirements of all intending purchasers. |
