SELL BETHANY MARBLE & GRANITE WORKS

Bethany Republican-Clipper Wed, Sep 28, 1921 ·Page 1

The Bethany Marble & Granite works, belonging to the Seth D. Stanley estate, were sold last Wednesday to Orley Bartlett, and the stock is now being invoiced. C.C. Hiatte, administrator of the estate, has been running the business since last March 15th, when he was appointed. The sale includes stock, real estate, and good will of the business here. A yard was formerly owned by Mr. Stanley at Cainsville, but was moved here by Mr. Hiatt following Mr. Stanley's death.

Orley has been employed at the Bethany postoffice since July 1, 1919, as auxiliary clerk, and for several months before that time was a city carrier. He has also worked at surveying and operated a farm near town for a number of years. He is known as a man of much business ability, and the marble works should prosper with him at its head. A number of out of town persons have been at Bethany since spring to see if the works could be purchased, but Mr. Hiatt has felt that the interests of the town and county would be better served if it were sold into the hands of local people. It would be hard to find a man better fitted for the business than Orley is, and we wish him all success.
