A MEXICAN CROWN WINDOW GLASS ma

A MEXICAN CROWN WINDOW GLASS ma
n 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 wears 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 lightness 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 deaced
and permanently bedimmed by dust; being made OF
extra thickness will, without injury, Withstand yo-
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 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 various parts of the city Also in
the Exchange and Custom House, Boston Girard
College, Philadelphia; Exchange Hotel, Baltimore
in the public buildings al washington city the Capt.
toll at Raleigh, North Carolina and in many both
both public and private ed6ces 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 pre-eminent and that il
deseryedy 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 cearness particularly desir-
ed and will range about 80 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
Ground Glass for sky lights, churches, and artists
windows, furnished to any paternor size. The Glass
is carefully packed in stout boxes nailed and secured
to be transported with safety to any part of the
United States.
