District Fair, held here October, 1859, there we're
but two premiums offered for cooking for

premiums were offered The large silver medal was
awarded to the Economist at the New York State

County Fairs in 1859.
In no branch of mechanical art has there
been more apparent advance than in the
ufacture OF stoves. 1t is but a few years since
the very name was a novelty, representing "a
huge, shapeless structure, almost devoid of
use as ornament, These have gradually given place
to patterns of grace 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 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 to have been
the case in reference to cook stoyesan article of
domestic economy that has more to do with scnlding
wives and crotcheJy servants than most people i'm
agine. The public have long sought an improve
ment in this article and believe ready to pay
any reasonable price for cooking stove if it only
possesses the merits of size, weight, convenience
durability, economy, and perfection of manutactm-
These qualities seem TO be possessed most fully in
the Econ ,mist-a new stove, perfected and brought
out the past season, by Messrs. Treadwell, Perry
& Norton of Albany. We heard much of this
stove, and it looked so much like stove intended
for use, that we concluded to try them, and the
result of the experiment cOnvinces lis that the
prourIetsrs, in their determination to make the
store ia the lcorld, have succeeded. We regard the
Economist possessing all the merits above
merated-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 i'll durability and the uSe of fuel. Among
the many conveniences attached to it, may be
