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
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 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 capable
of standing every change of climate, nor will il 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, brilancy,
and hardness, and is not subject TO the objection
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 sc. 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 in the New York Exchange and Custom
House, Towards Hotel Bronson's Buildings, Broad
way, Centre Market, and great many private resi-
dences 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 buildings at Washington city the Capt.
tol at Raleigh, North Carolina, and in many both
both public and private edi6ces throughout the Unit
ed States. II has been used in 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 preeminent, and that it
deservedly 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 Sc
where strength and clearness particularly desir-
ed and will range about 80 i'd per cent cheaper than
bp hnL ia al uay FIR
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
as to be transported with safety any part of the
United States.

mine this beautiful article the following testimonials
