A MEXICAN GROWN WINDOW GLASS mas

"A nufactured in the village of BEDFORD, county of
Clinton, and State of New York.
To the Rediord 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
a gold medal in communication 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. 1t is capable
of standing every change of climate, nor will il lose
its lustre by age.
The BEDFORD and Saranac Crown Window Glass
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, brilancy
and hardness and is not subject TO the objection so
often applied to Plate Glass of being easily deiaced
and permanently bedmmed by dust; being made of
extra thickness, will, without injury, withstand vio-
lent winds, hail storms, jars of cannon, SC. Its use,
in the end will prove more economical, independent
of its adding 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 also in
the Exchange and Custom House, Boston; Grard
College, Philadelphia Exchange Hotel, Baltimore
in the public buildings at Washington city the Capt.
toll at Raleigh, North Carolina and in many both
both public and private edfces throughout the Unit
ed States. Ii has been used in a great number of
steamboats, and rail roadcars, and given entire salts
faction Ii is believed that the above will suffice to
prove that this Glass stands preemnent and that it
deservedy 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, &c.
where strength and cleaness particularly desr-
ed and will range about 33 per cent cheaper than
Redford. The double thickness is always used for
lighthouses, and is taken by the true economist for
sky lights, steamboats,, ships cabin windows sc.
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
to be transported with safety to any part of the
United States

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