X hrst premiums at every Fair Where it has
been exhibited. At the South Western Indiana
District Fair, held here October 1859, there we're
but two premiums offered for cooking Stoves-one for
the best wood cock ing and for the BE-
COOKING stoVe. Tue Economist took the FIRST
PREM UNI FOR THE BEST COOKING STOVE
FOR WOOD. Rocker, Klusman * Co took the first
premium for their cooking stove for coal. No other
premiums were offered. The large silver m"dal 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 othcr State ard
County Fairs in 1859.
In no branch Of mechanical art has there
been more apparent advance than In tue man

hinge, sharel-ss structure, almost ;.s devoid Of
use as Ornament, These have gradually given place
to patterns of grace aud utility until the varieties
our markets now present have almost exhausted
the vocabulary 81 names; ana the different phases
the metal il made to assume, would astGui.h old
Vulcan himself. In style and finish, the improve
ment has Leen real, leaving 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 10 have beer,

any reasonable price for cooking stove, If it only

These qualities seem to be possessed fully in

Economist possessing all the merits above

vance of anything ever attempted in the line Of
stoves, perfect in all its appointments. and to
