A MEXICAN CROWN WINDOW GLASS ma

MEXICAN CROWN WINDOW GLASS ma
1 nufaetured in the village of Redford county of
Clinton and State of New York
To the Redford Crown Glass has been awarded the
hrst Premium OF the American Institute in the city OF
New York for five 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, will il lose
its lustre by age.
The Redford and Saranac Crown Window Glass
are distinguished from ordinary Glass by the uncom-
mon eyenness and beauty of surface the superior
transparency and lghtness 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 briliancy,
and hardness and is not subject to the objection so
often applied to Plate Glass of being easily defaced
and permanently bedimmed by dust; being made of
extra thickness, will, without injury, withstand vio-
lent winds, hail storms jars of cannon, &c. Its use,
IN the end, will prove more economical, independent
OF its adding so much to the beautiful appearance of
buildings.
Specimens of this deseryedly 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; Grard
College, Philadelphia; Exchange Hotel, Baltimore
In the public buildings at Washington city the Capt.
tol at Raleigh, North Carolina, and in many both
both public and private ediices throughout the Unit
ed States. IL has been used in great number Of
steamboats, and rail roadcars, and given entire salts
faction 1t is believed that the above will suffice
prove that this Glass stands pre-eminent, and that it
deservedly merits the appreciation ofbuders 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 cleamess are particularly desir-
ed and will range about 33 id per cent cheaper than
Redford. The double thickness is always used for
lighthouses and is taken by the true economist for
sky lights, steamboats, ships cabin windows, &c.
Ground Glass for sky lights churches, and artists
windows, furnished to any pattern size. The Glass
carefully packed in stout boxes nailed and secured
so as to be transported with safety to any part of the
United States.

mine this beautiful article, the following testimonials
are respectfully offered for consideration.
