Clinton, and State of New York

hrst Premium of the American Institute in the city of

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 lose
ITS ustre 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 ghtness of color sthe 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
often applied TO Plate Glass, of being easily deiaced
and permanently bedimmed by dust; being made of
extra thickness, viii, without injury, Withstand yio
lent winds, hail storms, jars of cannon, sc, Its use
