A MEXICAN CROWN WINDOW GLASS ma

IA nufactured in the village of Redford, county OF
Clinton and State of New York
To the Redford 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, nor will 1t lose
its ustre by age.
The BEDFORD and Saranac Crown Window Glass
are distinguished from ordinary Glass by the uncon-
mon eyenness 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 so
often applied to Plate Glass of being easily defaced
and permanently bedimmed 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 deservedly popular Glass may
be seen in the New York Exchange and Custom
House, Towards Hotel, Bronsons 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 Capri
tol at Raleigh, North Carolina, and in many both
both public and private edfces throughout the Unit
ed States. Ii has been used in great number of
steamboats, and rail road-cars, and given entire salts
faction. 1t is believed that the above will suffice to
prove that this Glass stands preemnent and that it
desevedy 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 clearness particularly desr-
ed, and will range about 33sd per cent cheaper than
Redford. The double thickness is ALWAYS used for
lipht- honspS and is taken nv the m economist
sky lights, steamboats,, ships cabin windows, &C.
Ground Glass for sky lights, churches, and artists
