Stephen Brown,

SUN-SMITI, &c. NoaTH MARKET = rRrEr,
RICHMoNp:
IL ANlNG purchased Kenedy's patent right of
4 using and vending TO others to be used in this
city, and the counties of Henrico and Coochlaud.
no Invention and improvement of fastening rails
ING and supporting Window Sashes by Springs
and Knobs; proposes TO supply gentlemen upon
tue shortest notice, with any number of those pa.
tent springs, with their latest and most conbleic
improvements. al the price of fifty cents piece,
ready ftted and adjusted to the sash or at thirty
tour cents, II taken from the shop. This aba,e.
ment OF sixteen cents is allowed to any gcnte
man VINO may prefer TO have them ser in by their
own wofkmen, as the work is triling; the ;bate
ment will be found to be liberal. Builders and
o'hers,w who may require quantity of those patent
, springs, will be accommodated with generous
allowance on taking them b. the groce.
Inc above invention for it, utility, convent
ence and cheapnesss will instantly convince any
person who may examine it, that there was ne
yer any thing invented for the purpose, which
could IN any degree bear competition With it
Tue former manner offastening sashes by small
oolts, and raising and supporting chem by puiles
ana leaden weights, was not onl, exceedingly
complex, difficult and expensive bur was alsol
able TO many accidents, as the wearing or break
ing OF cord or pulley, &c would prevent the
whole machinery from performing its expected
''''NN'NiSi GIN WOu'u require more expense
pairing dlsre, than would purchase the new in
vented patent spring. This spring will act as
safe bolt TO prevent the window from being omen
ed by riding from ritbout, and by Just touching
he spring it may be raised from within to any
convenien, height. where IL will rest with as much
safety, as 1t 1t we're supported by pillar
Il IS not surprising that an invention so useful
which is at once so simple and so convenient,
should prove a temptation TO some thoughtless
workmen, who had not considered the conse-
quences, 10 vend spurious kind Without autho
rity. Such mean conduit have already de
1eeted owing TO the extreme badness of the work
and to complete the pitifu fraud their trash has
been set into the windows in my name But as
have paid ORE THOUSAND AND FIFTY DOL.
LARS for the exclusive right to use and vend this
patent wIthih the city of Richmond, and the
( counties of Henrico and Goochland, shall no;
tan to prosecute the utmost rigour of the law,
any person who shall in future attempt such 4
contemplate fraud
In order TO secure gentlemen from any inposi
ton III the above articles, the initials of my name
| Is shall be struck on the white metal knob
i:iNed TO each of thr springs, and those who are
ergnGed 10 FIX them IN for me- shall DC Furnished
