Fan-Sash Making.

EEErAL FAN-SASHES, Of various
lFH descriptions, will be made BY Tie
subscriber, at his shop, lower end Of luke
street. The want of a Metal Fan-Sash
Mahufactory in Alexandria, has hitherto
been severely felt by builders aud 9TH
ers, who have been compelled to make
use of wood, which is neither elegant nor
durable. The various forms into which
the metal can be shaped have given it a
decided superiority, and the difference in
the price is very trifl'ng. The subscriber
has been al considerable expence in pro-
curing the necessary preparations, aSd
relies on public enterprise for success in
the undertaking.
Gentlemen in the country, by sending
the dimensions Of their sashes, can have
them made at the same price as il in town.
