A MEXICAN CROWN WINDOW GLASS ma


4 nuiactured in the village of Redlord, county OF
Clinton, and State of New York.
To the Rcdiord Crown Glass has been awarded the
hrst Premiunrof 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 Grown
Glass made from that species of sand. Ii is capable
of standing every change of climate, will il lose
its lllstre by age.
The Rediord and Saranac Crown Window Glass
are distinguished from ordinary Glass by the uncom-
eyenness 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
cd after being blown, retains the enamel brillancy,
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 much to the beautiful appearance Of
buildings.
Specimens of this deseryedly popular Glass may
he 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
College, Philadelphia; Exchange Hotel, Baltimore
IN the public buiidnssa at Washington city the Capt.
tol at Raleigh, North Carolina, and in many both
both public and private edfces throughout the Unit
I'd States. IL has been used in great number of
steamboats, and rail roadcars, and given entire salts
faction II is believed that the above will suffice
prove that this Glass stands preemnent, and that it
deser,edy merits the appreciation ofbulders and con-
sumers of Glass.
The Saranac Crown Glass is most used in stores
and buildings OF the second order green houses, &c.
where strength and cearness particularly desir-
ed, and will range about 80 per cent cheaper than
Rodiord 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 size. The Glass
is carefully packed in stout boxes, nailed and secured
