Patent Excelsior Weather Strip. 
Thoroughly excludes Wind, Dust, Snow and Rain 
from 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 economy, to say nothing of comfort, the 
“Weather Strip, and Door and Window Mouldings,” 
especially commend themselves to housekeepers. There is 
not a bouse in the city or country that could 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¬ 
ings” are indispensable to comfort.
