ANECDOTE. -- In the time of Caesar, an artist who made glass vessels of such toughness that they would not break when dashed upon the floor, when Caesar learned that no other man had the secret he caused the man to be put to death. Although this secret is lost, yet flint, green, and black glass has been, and is made into bottle, jars, demijohns, tumblers and other useful articles, by R. Hemingray & Co., of Cincinnati, almost equaling this ancient miracle in durability. Their patent fruit jar has been so extensively sold as to be almost universally known, and as a domestic article, stands for its long lasting qualities, its resistance to common accidents, and its preserving qualities unequalled in the American market. Every dealer should keep on hand a stock of glassware from this firm as saleable and reliable.
