A MEXICAN CROWN WINDOW GLASS ma

IA nufactured in the village of BEDFORD, 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
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 II is capable
of standing every change of climate, nor will il lose
its lustre by age
The BEDFORD 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, brancy,
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 vio
lent winds hail storms, jars of cannon, &C. Its use,
in the end, will prove more economical independent
of its adding so 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 aso 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 II is believed that the above will suffice to
prove that this Glass stands preemnent and that it
deseryedy 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 desr-
ed, and will range about 80 id per cent cheaper than
