L 4 nufactured in the village of Redford county of
Clinton, and State of New York.
To the BEDFORD 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

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 it lose
its llstre by age.
The BEDFORD and Saranac Crown Window Glass
distinguished from ordinary Glass by the uncom-
mon evenness and beauty of surface, the superior
transparency and lighness 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, brancy
and hardness, and 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 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 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

tol at Raleigh, North Carolina, and in many both
both public and private edifces throughout the Unit
ed States. II has been used in a great number of
steamboats, and rail roadcars and given entire salts
faction II is believed that the above will suffice to
prove that this Glass stands pre-emincnt and that it
deseryedly merits the appreciation ofbuders and
sumers of Glass

and buildings of the second order, green houses, &c
where strength and clearness particularly desir
ed and will range about 33 i'd per cent cheaper than
