take much interest in them because they
are Of american manufacture, and be
cause we believe they are superior TO
any imported article Of the kind, can be
sold much cheaper, and must eventually
largely command the American market.
This may seem extravagant language
TO those who have not seen them, or
compared them with imported wares OF
the same kind, but the statement will
not only appear reasonable but inevi,a-
Bile, TO all who contrast their beauty
strength and cost, with the foreign ar
ncle. Looking upon the American por-
celain and Agate wares as possessing g
these qualities, their manufacture and
introduction assumes a national import
ance. We import foreign porcelain to
he amount Of many millions, annually,
for which We pay specie and discov-
cry in our own country, which promis-
es to supply our market with the same
article, so much superior in beauty,
strength and cheapness as altogether TO
exclude importation, must be n matter
Of lively interest to every American
Its manufacture in this country will add
to our real wealth all that We pay an
nually Tor the imported article; for il Is
made out OF materials useless Tor any
other purpose, and ny the labor Of our
own citizens.
Regarded in this light, It's value can
scarcely be over-estinated, and We
have given to il more minute exami-
nation, tha, We might be able TO satisfy
ourselves more fully, and describe II
more particularly.
1t is manufactured at Green Point, l..
New York, by Charles. Cartilage &
Co. Mr.. Cartridge has long been emf.
nent in this country as scientific and
practical potter. He is IN English gen.
tlcman, was for many years nt the head
Of the large porcelain manufactures in
This country. He originated and INTRO
duccd the white granite ware now in
80 general use. Travelling frequently
over the different States ol the Union in
the business OF his agency, his practi-
cal and scientific knowledge enabled
him to become acquainted with the ma
terials in this country for porcelain mar
uiac,ure, and by long course Of sx-
perimen, and analysis he has discovered
and perfected new combinations Of in
gradients, and improved processes of
manufacture, OF which the articles now
on exhibition are specimens. We are
assured by Mr. Mr.. Cartridge that the
abundance Of the material and the
greatly improved mode Of manufacture,
will enable him ultimately to supply the
whole markets OF this country; and he
is prepared 10 put them in market at
prices so much lees than the cost Of
manufacture in Europe, as to defy COM
petition. lie has taken out no patent,
wisely prcIerring to keep his ow n secret,
and willing lha, all shall compete with
him-who can.
The Agate ware 10 Of different mate
rial and is manufactured by the Russell
& Erwin Manufacturing Co.. New Bri-
tain, CT. II is designed chiefly for .u
bic and bureau tops, man,ler, floor tiles
door plates, &c. II is n vi,r,ous mate
rinl melted and cast like iron, and may
be made OF any color end shade from
white 10 black. Its alleged superiority
over marble, and like the porcelain can
not ne scratched by steel or glass, nor
stained hy the most powerful acids
These qualities alone, must give it a
preference over any other substance
used for these and similar purp ses,
and when il Is considered that the cost
is one hall less than marble, il wos!d
seen that 1t must largIey superscde it.
laThe superiority Of these wares can
not be fully realized, except by exami-
nation and comparison, and we com.
mend them to the attention of merchants
and traders in this and the adjoining
counties. II they are what they appear
to us to be, the Porcelain tea ware, door
knobs, door trimmings, &C., must drive
out, and take the place of the oi oidinary
white stone ware, now used for even
at a much higher cost their greater du-
rability will make them cheaper in the
end. Every one knows how soon the
best white ware, and even the imported
porcelain, cracks in the enamel, and
chips on the edges, turning black and
destroying its beauty and utility. From
this cause Hotel keepers, and many
private !amilies, find it necessary to re-
new their table ware, and as the Amer
lean porcelain is not liable TO these de-
fects, its superiority will be evident at
once.
Tie Agency for the sale OF these
wares must be valuable in proportion TO
their superiority ard cheapncss over
others, and as upon the plan adopted, no
bonus is required OF those selected, as
agents they acquire the exclusive RICH,
Of sale in their county, we should think
the appointment would he desirable and
lucrative. The advertisement OF Mes
srs. johnson and Goodell, the proprir-
tors, will give further information TO
those interested.
nTT always gives US pleasure TO
notice any article that coniers a real
benefit on the community. and il is with
confidence we heartily commend Ayers
