A MEXICAN CROWN WINDOW GLASS ma

A MEXICAN CROWN WINDOW GLASS ma
nufactured in the village Of BEDFORD, county Of
Clinton and State of New York
To the Redford Crown Glass has been awarded the
rst Premium OF the American Institute in the city Of
New York Tor i've successive years and has received
gold medal, in commentator Of its superior merits.
This Glass is made from white flint sand obtained
In the vicinity of the works, and is the only Crown
Glass made from that species of sand Ii is capable
OF standing every change of climate, nor will it lose
ITS lusre by age.
The Redford and Saranac Crown Window Glass
are distinguished from ordinary Glass by the uncom-
mon evenness and beauty of surface, the superior
transparency and ghtness of color the great thick
ness, and the general excellence of the materials
which compose them The surface not being polish
ed after being blown retains the enamel brilliancy,
and hardness, and is not subject to the objection
often applied to Plate Glass of being easily defaced
and permanently bedimmed by dust; being made of
extra thickness, will, without Jury, withstand vio-
lent winds, hail storms, jars OF cannon, &c. Its use,
IN the end will prove more economical, independent
of its adding much to the beautiful appearance Of
buildings.
Specimens of this deservedy popular Glass may
be seen in the New York Exchange and Custom
House, Towards Hotel, Bronson's Buildings, Broad
way, Centre Market, and great many private resi-.
dcnces and stores in various parts of the city Also in
the Exchange and Custom House, Boston; Girard
College, Philadelphia; Exchange Hotel Baltimore !;
iii the public buildings at Washington city the Capt.
tol at Raleigh, North Carolina, and in many both
both public and private edices throughout the Unit
ed States. 1t has been used in great number Of
steamboats, and rail roadcars and given entire salts
faction II is believed that the above will suffice to
prove that this Glass stands preemnent, and that II
deservedy merits the appreciation ofbuilders and
sumers of Glass.
The Saranac Crown Glass is most used in stores
and buildings OF the second order green houses, &c.
where strength and cearness particularly desir-
ed, and will range about 33 id per cent cheaper than
q he is for
lighthouses, and is taken by the true economist for
sky lights steamboats,, ships cabin windows, sc.
Ground Glass for sky lights, churches, and artists
windows, furnished to any pattern or size. The Glass
is carefully packed in stout boxes, nailed, and secured
to be transported with safety to any part of the
