"A nufacured in the village of BEDFORD, county OF
Clinton, and State Of New York.
To the BEDFORD Crown Glass has been awarded the
rs Premium of the American Institute in the city OF

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 ustre by age.
The Redford and Saranac Crown Window Glass
distinguished from ordinary Glass by the uncom-
mon eyenness and beauty of surface, the superior
transparency and lgbtness 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 subject to the objection SO
often applied to Plate Glass of being easily deaced
and permanently bedimmed by dust; being made OF
extra thickness, WILL without injury, withstand vio-
lent winds, hail storms jars of cannon, sc. lis
IN the end, will prove more economical, independent
of its adding much to the beautiful appearance OF
buildings.

be seen 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

tol at Raleigh, North Carolina, and in many both
both public and private edifces throughout the Unit
cd States 1t has been used in 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 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 clearness particularly desr-
ed, and will range about 33 ID per cent. cheaper than
