n MEXICAN CROWN WINDOW GLASS ma
"A nufactured in the village of BEDFORD, county Of
Clinton, and State of New York.
To the BEDFORD Crown Glass has been awarded the
hrst 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 1t capable
OF standing every change of climate, nor will it lose
its lustre by age
The Redford and Saranac Crown Window Glass
are distinguished from ordinary Glass by the
mon evenness and beauty Of surface, the superior
transparency and ghtness 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 delaced
and permanently bedimmed by dust being made of
extra thickness, WILL without injury, withstand VIC
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
be in the New York Exchange and Custom
House, Towards Hotel, Bronsons 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 buildings at Washington city the Capt.
tol at Raleigh, North Carolina, and in many both
both public and private editces throughout the Unit
ed States. 1t 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 are particularly desir-
ed, and will range about 33 Id per 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.
