A MEXICAN CROWN WINDOW GLASS ma
"A nufactured in the village of Redford, county Of
Clinton, and State of New York
TO the Redford Crown Glass has been awarded the
hrst Premium of tie American Institute in the city of
New York Tor 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, will il lose
its lustre by age.
The Redford and Saranac Crown Window Glass
are distinguished from ordinary Glass by the uncom-
mon 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
ed after being blown; retains the enamel brlliancy
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 yio-
lent winds, hail storms, jars of cannon &c Its use,
m the end, will prove more economical independent
Of lis 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. Howard's 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 Capt.
tofat Raleigh, North Carolina, and in many both
both public and private edifices throughout the Unit
ed States. Ii has been used in a great number of
steamboats, and rail road-cars and given entire salts
faction 1t is believed that the above will suffice to
prove that this Glass stands pre-eminent and that it
deservedy 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
Redford. 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
50 as to be transported with safety to any part of the
