In no branch OF mechanical AIT has there

the very name was novelty, presenting
huge, siapeless structure, almost devoid of
use as ornament, These have gradually given place
patterns Of grace aid utility until the varieties
our markets now present have almost exhausted
the vocabulary Of names; and the different phases
the metal is made to assume, would assonish old
| Vulcan himself. In style and tinish the improve
ment has been real leaving nothing to DO desired
that pOiut but the severe competition an 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 in reference to cook stOves-an article of
domestic economy that has more to do with scnding
| wives and cTotchety servants than most people I'M
| agine. The public have long sought improve
ment IN this article and believe ready TO pay
any reasonable price for cooking stove, if il only
possesses the merits OF size, weight, convenience,
durability, economy, and perfection of manufacture.
