The BEDFORD and Saranac Crown Window Glass
are distinguished from ordinary Glass by the uncom-
mon eyenness and beauty of surface the superior
transparency and ghness 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
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 10 the beautiful appearance of
buildings.
