Patent Excelsior Weather Strip. 
Thoroughly excludes "Wind, Dust, Snow and Rain 
irom doors and windows of every description. 
This is the original "Weather Strip Patent; it is for inserting 
Vulcanized Rubber in wood, which material admits of tasty 
styles at moderate cost, and being of itself ornamental, re- 
quires no covering, (as with the Metallic Weather Strip,) to 
hide its unsightliness— many persons also object to having 
their windows and doors surrounded by Metallic Lightning 
Conductors. 
As a matter of econoniv, to say nothing of comfort, the 
"Weather Strip, and Door and Window Mouldings," 
especially commend themselves to housekeepers. There is 
not a house in the city or country that coutd not be kept 
warm during the winter with" two or three tons less of fuel, 
if these simple appliances were "used. 
For suburban residences, which are always exposed to 
to wintry blasts and storms, these "Strips" and "Mould- 
jugs" are indispensable to comfort. 
We employ a number of skillful workmen to apply tho 
strips, when desired.
