Daguerreotype Saloon.  Ladies and Gentlemen of Windsor and vicinity, to you I have a word to say in relation to further prospects, and that is, I have a Daguerreotype Saloon now building at the Car Manufactory of Messrs. Robbins & Lawrence, which will be one of the largest and most convenient Saloons in the United States, furnished with one of the largest and best Ground Glass Sky-Lights in the country, to be completed in about two or three weeks, and located in some convenient spot in this place.

Those wishing to procure superb  Likenesses of themselves or friends, can do so by the Ground Glass Sky Light, (with the assistance of your humble servant,) which is superior to any light in the city.  Perhaps you may say this is saying too much about your Ground Glass Sky-Light, but I am inclind to believe that I can convince you of the fact, when the saloon is in operation. Remember, within two or three weeks.  Very respectfully yours, Alonzo G. Amsden.
