Ms invention and Improvements OF fastening, rsisS
ing ard supporting Window SaShes by Spriogs
and Knobs; proposes to supply gcn;.eneh upon
the shortest notice, with any nunber OF those pa
tent springs, with their late5t and most ooni6lste
improvements. AZ the Price of fifty cents piece,
ready fitted and adjusted the cash OF thirty
tour cents, II taken from the shop This aba,e-
ment of sixteen cents is allowed to any geu;le-
man who may prefer to have them set in BY their
own workmen, as The woik is ,,ihng; the abate.
meat will DC found to be liberal. Builders and
others, W no may require quantity OF those paienr
springs, will be accommodated with generous
allowance, on taking them b. The groee.
The above invention. for ITS utility, CONVENE

person who may examine il, that there WAS ne
yer any thing invented for the purpose, which
could iii any degree bear 4 compe;lion " ith H.
The foiner manner OF fastening ssshes BY siuali

1t IS rot surprising thai al invention so useful,
which is at cnce so simple and so convenient,
should prove temptation to some thoughilcss
workmen, who had not considered the conse-
quences, TO vend spurious Kind without autho-
ri'y. Such mean conduct l have already de.
teeted, owing to the extreme badness OF tle work
and to complete the pitisu fraud their trash has
been set into the windows III nv name!! But as

LARS for the exclusive right use and vend this
patent within the city OF Richmond, and lie
counties OF Henrico and Gcochland. shall not
