GR EAR SON & LANE CO., NC. SPecialists ill FORE~ OR D THS work is inscribed to the men of the memorial world that they may show their customer the beauty of curve in memorial art. t has been our endeavor to treat the subject in a thorough way in order to meet your every need. The illustrations give the memorial trade, in compact form, a reference book and sales help from which they may study and how their clients the many beautiful and unique variations possible in the use of turned work. n all the architecture passed down to us by the Ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans, beautiful curves have always been in evidence and have contributed much to the glory of those historic craft men. The beautiful symmetry of columns' the beauty of vases with their flowers: the usefulne s of fountains, and the uniqueness of globes, rolls, and round monuments, all combine to impre s one with the important part played by rounded surfaces in perpetuating the memories of past age and in adding beauty and art to our modern memorials.
