New Stove.
THE ECONOMIST

We have pleasant task to perform for the
benefit of Housekeepers, in giving place to the
following notice of q new Stove
From the Watertswn New York Reformer March a. 1852
! {" In no branch of mechanical ant has there
been more apparent advance than in the
manufacture of stoves 1t is but q few years
since the very name was novelty, representing
huge, shapeless structure, almost as devoid OF
use as ornament. These have gradually given
place to patterns Of grace and utility, until the
varieties our markets now present have almost
exhausted the vocabulary of names; and the
different faces the metal is made to assume
would astonish old Vulcan himself. In style
and fnish the improvement has been real, leav-
ing nothing to be desired on that point, but the
severe competition in price, to which they have
been subjected, has deprived them OF many OF
the more substantial qualities desirable. This
seems more especially to have been the case in
reference to cook stoves-an article OF domestic
economy that has more to do with scolding
wives and crotchety servants than most people
imagine. The public have long sought an i'm
provement in this article, and VIC believe are
ready to pay any reasonable price for cooking
stove, if it only possesses the merits of size,
weight, convenience, durability, economy, and
perfection in manufacture These qualities
seem to be possessed most fully in the Econo-
mist-a new stove, perfected and brought out
the past season, by Messrs. TREADwELL, PERRY
NoRToN, of Albany. We heard 50 much Of
this stove, and it looked so much like a stove
intended for use, that we concluded to try one,
and the result of the experiment convinces US
that the proprietors in their determination to
make the best stove in The 0orld have succeeded.
We regard the Economist as possessing all the
merits above entmcratcd-as the great stove
OF the day-far in advance Of anything ever
attempted in the line of stoves, perfect in all
| its appointments, and true to its name in dura-
bilty and the use of fuel. Among the many
conveniences attached to it, may be mentioned
large oven, with hooks arranged, for suspend
ing meats while roasting. A copper water
tank, holding from u to rs gallons-warming
closet, broilng hearth, &C., &C. The broling
hearth is ono of the most noticeable features of
this stove. There never has been, to our knowl-
edge, any Trolling fixture that was really salts
factory in its operation. The proprietors OF
this stove have been conducting series of ex-
periments upon brolling eliciting some valua-
BILE facts, and resulting in the invention OF u
gridiron adapted to this stove, which has heen
secured by letters patent, and is one of the
most admirable things Of the kind we ever saw
|-broiling without smoke, and keeping the
GOALS in constant glow. We are always glad
to do justice to mechanical Improvements, and
especially such as contribute so largely to the
general good, as the one above mentioned.
The Economist which we learn is already
commanding large sale, may b, found at the
stove warehouse of & G. r. Wood, where
any one wanting anything in this line cannot
fail to be suited IN style and price.
