Why Consumers Choose Genuine Marble & Granite
It's the Natural Choice

CLEVELAND, OH, Aug 2, 2007—The Marble Institute of America (MIA) has reproduced and reformatted its most popular consumer brochure, "Genuine Marble and Granite. The Natural Choice." The four page update details the uniqueness of natural stone and its appeal for use in our homes.

Colorful and informative, the new version explains the exclusive attributes and glamour of natural stone for homeowners who desire truly unique countertops, vanity tops, showers, floors and other elements for their homes. Facts that the industry knows by heart are presented for consumers by stone type while myths about cleanability, price and radon are dispelled. Also included are recovered remodeling expense percentages.

"Natural stone offers today's homeowners unparalleled beauty, permanence, and uniqueness as well as true value to the home," said MIA Executive Vice President Gary Distelhorst. "We're pleased to offer the natural stone industry this important educational brochure that explains to customers and clients the reasons why natural stone is the correct choice for their homes."

"It's a very well done brochure," he continued, "This particular brochure precedes my arrival here. It's been a staple for the MIA that has been modified over the years to reflect the changes in our industry. This time, in deference to both contractors and architects, we printed it on 8 ½" x 11" stock to fit in presentation binders."

MIA has kept the cost at the same at $23.00 per bundle for members and $28.00 for non-members while increasing the number per pack to 100. Quantity discounts are available for 4-9 bundles and 10 or more bundles. The brochures can be ordered on the MIA website, www.marble-institute.com, or by calling 440-250-9222.
