Lupton & Lupton.
A progressive concern which is doing
much to enhance the prestage of
Charlottesville as a manufacturing
centre is that of Lupton & Lupton
who were established in 1904. They
are manufacturers of concrete blocks,
and cement, and do a general stone contracting
and building business. They
are the owners and patentees of concrete
or artificial stone for construction
purposes. A large force of skilled
and experienced mechanics are provided
with constant employment.
These blocks are made with unusual
care and accuracy of the best and most
durable material, and the skill which
is applied to every phase and feature
of the production has led to an extended
and steadily increasing demand
throughout the country. They erected
the front of Flannagan & Allegre's
handsome new stable, also the splendid
residence of George B. Marshall,
at Locust Grove and the home of E.
E. Stratton on East Jefferson street.
New business is constantly pouring in
and well it should, for the concern
have an excellent reputation for good
workmanship, and square and honest
dealing with their fellow men. The
firm is composed of W. N. and John
L. Lupton, both of whom are natives
of Albemarle County. Mr. W. N.
Lupton learned his trade under William
Larner, of Staunton. Lupton &
Lupton it should be added, are the
sole owners in the district of Charlottesville
and Albemarle County of
Harmon S. Palmer's Hollow Concrete
Building Blocks, in which line they
do a very large business.
It is safer to trust your eyes than
your ears when a man argues religion
while his wife carries in the water.
