Stephen Brown,

GJN-SMITH, &c. NORTH MARKET STREET,
KIcHMoNp:
HAVING purchased Kenedy's patent right of
< J. using and vending others tc be used in this
city, and the counties of Henrico ami Gooshiard,
his invention and Improvement oil fastening. rails
ing and supporting Window Sashes by Springs
and Knobs; proposes TO supply gentlemen upon
the shortest notice, with any number OF those pa
tent springs, with their latest and most coDblcte
Improvements, at the price of fifty cents piece,
ready htted and dusted 10 the lash or thirty
tour cents, If taken from the shop This abaie-
rlent OF sixteen cents is allowed to any gentle
man who may prefer to have Them SET in by their
own workmen, rs the work is triAing; the abate-
ment viii be found TO be liberal. Builders and
others, who may require quantity OF those patent
springs, will be accommodated with Z generous
allowance, on taking them by the grooe.
The above invention, for Its utility, convent
ence and cheapness. will instantly convince any
person who may examine it, that thore was ne
yer any thing invented Cor tine purpose, which
could in any degree bear competition with it.
The former manner of fastening sashes by small
bolts. and raising and supporting them by pues
and lcaden weights, was not only exceedingly
complex, difficulty and expensive but was aiso IL
able 10 many accidents, as the wearing or break.
ing OF 4 cord or pulley, &c would prevent the
whole machinery from performing its expeSed
functions. and you'd require more expense in re-
F]viH U9cHe, 'hs.h Wouu purchase the new H.
vented patent spring This spring will act as a
safe bolt to prevent the window from being OPEN
Ell by rising from ,Orbon, and by Just touching
the spring it may be raised from within 10 any
convenient height, where it w i'll rest with asmuch
safety, as ifit were supported by pillar.
1t is not surprising that invention so useful,
which is at once so simple and so convenient,
should prove a temptation 10 some thought,sss
workmen, who had considered the conse-
quences, to vend spurious Kind without au,ho-
r;y. Such mean conduct have already de-.
tetied, owing to the extreme badness OF the work
and to complete the pitiful fraud thcir trash has
been set into the windows III my nanae! ! Blu! as
have paid ONE THOUSAND AND FIFTY DoL-
LARS for the exclusive right 10 use ard vend this
patent within the city of Richmond, and ,he
counties of Hen,ico and Goochland, shall nos
fai 10 prosecute to the utmost rigour OF The law
any person who shall in future attempt sach
contemplate fraud.
In order To secure gentlemen from any imposi.
ton in the above articles the initials of my name
IS. } shall be struck on the white metal knob,
affixed to each of the springs, and those who are
engaged to FIX them in for me. shall be furnished
with a written authority, and every such spring
shall be WARRANTED by me.
