Arnold^s Patent Sasli I>>clc, 



»"pHEBEST ARTICLF, of thf kind eTcrofforoJ to the public 

 X by several hnntlred per cent It is extensively used— univer- 

 saUy admired, and highly recommended wherever known. The 

 Patentee received at the recent State Fair in Syracuse, the Di- 

 ploma of the State Society, (which is thehigheet premium on such 

 articles.) accompanied by the following commendatin from the 

 Committee. -Arnold's Patent Sash Lock, an article of great sim- 

 plicity and extreme cheapness of cost, and operating with unerring 

 certainty. The Committee commend it to all who need the arti- 

 cle, as the Ultim.ithule of Saeh Lock invention?." The well 

 known Chairman of the above Committee. Lyman B. Langworthy, 

 Ksq, very justly remark'^d that I had nothing to ft>ar from any 

 othur Sash fastener— that the principle of this is the only one that 

 13 right- This was theaimost universal opinion expressed at the 

 Fair, f know of but one exception, and that was an individual 

 deeply interested in another article for the eame purpose. The 

 Editor of the Rochester American was at the Fair, and in notic- 

 ing in his paper the various articles exhibited, uses the following 



'■ W'm. E. Arnold exhibited his adwirabh* Sash Lock, which for 

 simplicity and utility has no equal or rival " 



The Syracuse Star, as well as numerous other papers have ex- 

 pressed the same sentiment. The Ontario Repository, says:— ■• A 

 large number of these Locks have been attached to windows in 

 this village. (Canandaigua.) and we hear but one opinion express- 

 ed in relation to them, and that is of uoqalified approval." 



This being the prevailing sentiment wherever this Fastner is 

 known. I might fill scores of newspapers with testimonials in its 

 favor, but the artitle itself is its best recommendation. A Reward 

 of One Hundred Dollars will be. paid to any Person who will pro- 

 duce a patent ^ indow faftener on any other principle, in every 

 respect as good. It is now less than one year sine _' this article was 

 lairly before the public i i which time 1 have sold at my manufac- 

 tory, without the aid of hired travUng Agents, several thousand 

 gross, the most of which have gone into use, and with a very few 

 exceptions, and these where they were not properly applied, have 

 given entire satisfaction. 



I am now making them of various lengths, adapted to sash of 

 different sizes, and a much better article (ban my first sample.
