II hrst premiums at every Fair where it has
been exhibited. At the South Western Indiana
District Fair, held here October, 1852 there were
but two premiums offered for cooking esone for
the best wood cooking toveand for the best coal
cooking stove. The Economist took the FIRST
PREMIUM FOR THE BEST oOKING STOVE
FOR WOOD. Rocker, Klusman d Co took the fret
premium for their cooking stove for coal. No other
premiums were offered The large silver medal was
awarded to the Economist at the New York state
Fair and the first premium at the United States
Fair held at chicago, and twelve other State and
County Fairs in 1859. -= ~
In no branch of mechanical art has there
boen a more apparent advance than in toA rn.n~
ufacture OF stoves. 1t is but few years since
the very name novelty, representing a
huge, shapeiess 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 exhaus tets
the vocabulary Of names; and the different phases
the metal is made to assume, would astonish old
Vulcan himself. In style and finish, the improve
ment has been real, leaving nothing to be desired
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 oG
domestic economy that has more to do With scolding
wives and crotchety servants than most people in
agine. The public have long sought an improTe-
in this article. and We believe ready to pay
any reasonable price for cooking stove, If IL only
Possesses the merits Of size, weight, convenience
durability, economy, aud perfection Of manufacture
the Econu ulist-a stove, perfected and brought
out the past season, by Messrs. Treadwell, Perry
4 Norton, of Albany. We heard much Of this
stove, and It looked 80 much like stove intended
for use, that we concluded to try them, and ths
result Of the experiment convinces rs that the
proprietars in their determination TO make the Bet
store in The tcorId, have succeeded. We regard the
Economist as possessing all the merits above emu
merated-as the great stove of the day-far in ad-
vance Of anything ever attempted IN the line OF
stoves, perfect all its appointments, and true T.
its name in DURABILITY andth use OF fuel. Among
the many conyeniences attached to it, may be men
toned largo oven, with hooks arranged, for sus-
pending meats while roasting A copper water
tank, holding from II 70 25 gallons-warminz
closet, broiling hearth, &c, sc. The broiling
hearth is of the noticeable features Of th
remarkable stove There never has been, TO our
knowledge any broiling fixture that was really sat
sfactory in its operation. The prOprietors OF this
stow have been conducting series OF experiments
upon broiling, eCiting valuable facts, and re
sulting in the invention OF a gTIdiron adapted to
this stove which has been secured by letters patent
and is one of the most admirable things OF the kind
We ever saw-broling without smoke, and keeping
the Goals in q constant glow. We are always glad
to do Justice TO mechanical improvements, and
eciIiy such as contribute so largely to the general
good as the one above mentioned.
