District Fair held here October, 1852 there were
but two premiums offered for cooking stoves-one for
the best wood cooking stove and one for the best coal
cooking stove. The Economist took the FIRST
PREMIUM FOR THE BEST COOKING STOVE
FOR WOOD. R'"lker Klusman X Co took the first
premium for their cooking stove for coal No other
premiums we're offered Z he large silver medal was
awarded to the Economist at the New York State
Fair; aud the first premium at the United States

In 10 branch of mechanical art has there
been more apparent advance than in the man
utacturc Of stoves. 1t is but few years since
the very name novelty, represe nting p
huge, shapeless structure, almost devoid of
use rs 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 and tlie different phases
the metal is made to assume, would astonish old
Vulcan him-eIf In style aud finish, the improve
mcnt has been real, leaving nothing be desired
on that point but the 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 beer,
the case In reference 10 COOK stoNcS-ah article OF
domestic economy that has more to do with scodiug
wives and crotchety servants than most people i'm
aSine. The public have long sought an improve
ment in this article, and we believe ready pay
any reasonable price for cooking stove if it only
possesses the merits OF size, weight convenience,
durability, economy, and perfection of manufacture.
These qualities TO be possessed most fully in
the Econ nst--a stove, perfected and brought
out the past season, by MessTs Treadwell, Perry
& Norton, of Albany. We heard much of this
stove, and it looked SO much like stove intended
for use, that concluded to try them, and the
result of the experiment COnyinces that the
prOuretsrs, in their determination to make the best
store in the lcorld have succeeded. We regard the
Economist possessing all the merits above emu
Inerated-as the great stove of the day-far in ad-
vance of anything attempted in the line of
stoves perfect in all its appointments. and true to
its name in durability and the of fuel. Among
the many convenences attached to 1T, may be men
toned "a large oven, with hooks arranged, for
pending meats while roasting. copper water
tank, holding from u to 25 gallons-waTmng
closet, broiling hearth, dc, &c. The broflng
hearth is of the noticeable features of this
remarkable stove. There never has been, to
knowledge, any broiling xture that really sat
istactOry in its operation. The prOprieOrs of this
stove have been conducting series of experiments
upon broing, elicting some valuable facts, aud re-
sulting In the invention of grdirOn adapted TO
this stove, which has been secured by letters PATENT
and is one of the most admirable things of the kind
saw-brOiling without smoke, and keeping
the Goals in a constant glow. We always glad
to do Justice to mechanical improvements, and
pecially such contribute largely to the general
good, the one above mentioned.
