Ferguson & Nettleton’s marble and granite works are located at 119 South Main street, in this city. They are not only manufactures, but importers of and dealers in granite and marble. Their cemetery, or fine monumental work is the admiration of all who have seen it. With the exception of nine pieces, all the beautiful grave marks in Highland cemetery, near this city, was turned out by this firm. They fill orders in adjoining counties, as well as in all parts of this county, and their designs and workmanship have found favor in Illinois and eastern states as far as West Virginia. This firm has been located here fifteen years. Both Mr. Ferguson and Mr. Nettleton are practical, experienced workmen, and the fact that they fill all orders with best material and warrant it as represented, has had much to do with establishing for them the splendid reputation they enjoy. Furthermore, they deal direct with the quarries, buy in car lots, thereby saving freight, handling, etc., and their prices are commensurate with their work, which has only to be seen to be appreciated, and their numerous customers everywhere speak in unstinted praise of their skill and fairness.
