I appreciate it wont get me work directly, but who knows.I have no wish to sell the info. Was just wondering the best way to get the page in front of people who may or may not link to it. It will be for my website only unless there is a better way. Thanks again guys.

James - your understanding of this is spot on. There can be a real value to having content on your site purely to improve site metrics and performance (eg links, time on site, search behaviour, clickthrough... any of the hundred things search engines monitor) even if it won't lead to immediate sales. If you're competing just locally too it can really blow the link metrics out of the park if you do something 'huge' like this and it really does garner a lot of interest and links from around the web.
If we were talking pure linkbait in the ridiculous sense that you see some SEO companies do it then it would be less of a good idea (I've seen things as spurious as 'what if stone masons were zombies') as at some point the smarter algorithm might understand the meaning of the links more than it does currently but all of the links you get from this are going to be pretty natural and related to your main site theme - quality stone masonry - which can only be a good thing.
Take a look at what big search agencies are doing to drive rankings - eg
http://www.simplybusiness.co.uk/microsites/wordpress-for-small-businesses/ was done by a big UK search agency. Now you could argue that since they sell insurance to businesses it 'might' drive some business but the purpose of this kind of thing is primarily site authority and driving up rankings hence hiding it away on a microsite and branding it as little as possible until the end (so it gets more links from people who are turned off by 'promotional blogging' type content).
It is I guess not what one would call 'article marketing', however, as that would involve a more nuanced strategy to get your content in front of your actual target audience, and probably following through with a combination of retargeting pixels and ads, and e-mail marketing to move them along the sales funnel.
Coming up with an idea that hits both strategies (amazing content + interesting to your actual customers) can be a more useful investment of your time as it will, in itself, continue to drive customers and add people to your marketing funnel, as
@fisicx rightly points out, your current content won't do that it'll just serve the 'linkbuilding, authority and site metrics' objective, and not sales, so you may have to do other work on the site as well to take advantage of all of the benefits.
