FALL 2000 MEMBER DIRECTORY THE EDITOR’S NOTES “The Membership” The ELBERTON GRANITEER is proud to present the members of the Elberton Granite Association. This spe­cial Membership Directory is much more than a listing of member-firms because it introduces you to the peo­ple who are E.G.A. By E.G.A.’s structure, the compa­nies are the members but, in reality, it’s the people at these companies that are the heart and soul of the organization. These are the people that have earned your trust by demonstrat­ing their commitment to service over and over again. It’s these people that pool their resources, skills, and experience to support the growth and development of the Monument Industry. For almost 50 years, the Monument Industry has experienced the caring and friendly nature of E.G.A.’s members. There are 11 firms, that in just a few months, will celebrate 50 years of continuous membership. There are 18 firms who have been E.G.A. members between 35 and 20 years. Over all, 74% of the members have supported E.G.A. for more than 10 years. This genuine spirit of loyalty has been conveyed to customers throughout the United States and has transformed customers into “life-long, good friends”. It’s the people of E.G.A., the friendly faces you see on these pages, and hundreds of other people that work in the offices, plants and quarries that give real meaning to the phrase “helpful friends, helping you”. You are encouraged to keep this new Directory handy because you will find it helpful in locating a variety of granites as well as other stones produced by the membership. You will also learn about the many custom services and spe­ciality products available from the membership. If you are visiting Elberton, our locator map will help you find our members as they relate to E.G.A.’s Granite Center. And you will have all the information needed to contact the members as you become familiar with your very special friends, the people of the Elberton Granite Association, Inc.
