A MEXICAN CROWN WINDOW GLASS ma
4 nufactured in the village of BEDFORD, county Of
Clinton, and State of New York.
To the Redford 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 G lass 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 1t 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 lghness 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 defaced
and permanently bedmmed 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 much TO the beautiful appearance OF
buildings.
Specimens of this deservedy 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
the Exchange and Custom House, Boston Girard
College Philadelphia; Exchange Hotel, Baltimore
in the public buildings at Washington city the Cap-
tol at Raleigh, North Carolina, and in many both
both public and private editices throughout the Unit
ed States. 1t has been used in a great number OF
steamboats, and rail roadcars and given entire salts
faction 1t is believed that the above will suffice to
prove that this Glass stands pre-eminent and that il
deservedly 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 Sc
where strength and clearness particularly desir
ed and will range about 80 id per cent cheaper than
Redtord. The double thickness is always used for
lighthouses, and is taken by the true ECONOMIST for
sky lights, steamboats, ships cabin windows, &c.
Ground Glass for sky lights, churches, and artists
windows furnished To any pattern or size. The Glass
is carefully packed in stout boxes nailed and secured
as to be transported with safety to any part OF the
United States.

mine this beautiful article, the following testimonials
respectfully offered for consideration.
