A MEXICAN CROWN WINDOW GLASS ma

A MEXICAN CROWN WINDOW GLASS ma
"A nufactured in the village of Redford, county of
Clinton, and State of New York.
To the Rediord Crown Glass has been awarded the
first 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. 1t is capable
of standing every change of climate, will it lose
its lustre 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 lghness 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 brlliancy,
and hardness, and is not subject to the objection
often applied TO Plate Glass of being easily defaced
and permanently bedmmed by dust; being made of
extra thickness, will, without injury Withstand yio-
lent winds, hail storms, jars of cannon sc. Its use,
in the end will prove more economical, independent
of its adding much TO the beautiful appearance of
buildings.
Specimens of this deseryedy popular Glass may
be seen in the New York Exchange and Custom
House, Howard's 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 !;
in the public buildings at Washington city the Capt.
to 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 1t is believed that the above will suffice to
prove that this Glass stands preeminent and that it
deservedy merits the appreciation ofbuders and con-
sumers of Glass.
The Saranac Crown Glass is most used in stores
and buildings of the second order, green houses, &c
where strength and clearness particularly desir
ed and will range about 80 i'd per cent cheaper than
ReufOrd. dOuble 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 size The Glass
is carefully packed stout boxes nailed and secured
so as to be transported with safety to any part of the
United States.

distance, who may not have an opportunity to exa
mine this beautiful article the following testimonials
are respectfully offered for consideration
Extract from the report of the committee of the
