When drawn up it does not occupy more than half the space of a wood blind. 2nd, It is much lighter. 3rd. The surface of tbe lath is always smooth and bright. This is accomplished by a new and improved method of colouring, so that the power of ihe sun and atmosphere, so destructive to ordinary painting, has little effect upon these blinds. 4th.
