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 il lose

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 lghtness 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, briancy,
and hardness and is not subject TO the objection so
often applied to Plate Glass of being easily deaced
and permanently bedmmed by DUST being made of
extra thickness will, without injury withstand vo-
lent Winds hail storms, jars of cannon, Sc Its use,
IN the end, will prove more economical independent
