A MEXICAN CROWN WINDOW GLASS ma
"A nufactured in the village of BEDFORD, 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, will it lose
its lustre by age.
The Redford and Saranac Crown Window Glass
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 brlliancy
and hardness, and is not subject to the objection
often applied to Plate Glass of being easily deiaced
and permanently bedimmed by dust; being made of
extra thickness, will, without injury Withstand vio-
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 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; Girard
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 edfces throughout the Unit
ed States. 1t has been used in a 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
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 sc.
where strength and cearness particularly desir-
ed and will range about SO 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, SC.
