m first premiums at every Fair where It has
been exhibited. At the South-W estern Indiana
District Fair held here October, 1859, there we're
but two premiums offered for cooking stoves-one for
the best wood cooking stove and for the best coal
cooking stove. The Economist took the FIRST
PREMIUM FOR THE BEST COOKING STOVE
FOR WOOD. Rocker, Klusman d Co took tho first
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 1889.
In no branch of mechanical art has there
bsen more apparent advance than in the man
ufacture of stoves. 1t is but a few years since
the very name was novelty, representing q
huge, shepeless structure, almost as devoid of
use as ornament, These have gradually given place
to patterns of and utility until the varieties
markets now present have almost exhausted
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
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 moro especially to have bee
the IN reference to cook stoves-an article of
domestic economy that has to do with scolding
wives and crotche,y servants than most people i'm
agine- The public have long sought improve
ment in this article and believe ready pay
any reasonable price for cooking stove, if it only
possesses the merits Of size, weight, convenience
durability, economy, and perfection of manufactur
These qualities seem to be possessed most fully in
the Econ mist-a new stove, perfected and brought
out the past season, by Messrs. Treadwsll, Perry
& Norton, Of Albany. We heard much of this
stove, and 1t looked so much like stove intended
for use, that concluded to try them, and tho
result of the experiment convinces that the
proOresrs, in their determination TO make the best
ia the Icorld, have succeeded. We regard the
Economist possessing all the merits above
nerated-as the great stove of the day-far in adj
vance of anything attempted in the line of
Stoves perfect in all its appointments, and true to
its name in durability and the use of fuel Among
the many convenieuces attached TO it, may be men
toned large oven, with hooks arranged, for sns-
pending meats while roasting. A copper water
tank holding from II to Is galIons-warming
closet, broing hearth, dc, &C. The broiling
hearth is of the most noticeable features of this
remarkable stove. There never has been, to
knowledge any broiling hxture that WAS really sat
isfactory its operation. The proprietors of this
have been conducting u series Of experiments
upon bToiling, eliciting valuable facts aud re-
sulting In the invention of gridiron adapted to
this stove which has been secured by letters patent
aud is of the most admirable things of the kind
We ever saw-broiling without smoke, and keeping
the Goals in a constant glow. We are always glad
to do justice to mechanical imT rovements, and
Peciay such contribute largely to the general
good, as the one above mentioned.
