n first premiums at every Fair where il has
been exhibited. At the South Western Indiana
District Fair held here October, 1858, 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
PREM UNI FOR THE BEST OOKING STOVE
FOX WOOD. Rocker, Klusman 4 Co took the first
premium for their cooking stove for coal. No other
premiums We're 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 Chicags. and twelve other State and
County Fairs in 1859.
In no branch of mechanical art has there
been a more apparent advance than in the man
utacture of stoves. 1t is but 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
our 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
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 specially to have been
the in reference to cook stoves-an article Of
domestic economy that has more to do with scolding
wives and crotcheIy servants than most people i'm
agine. The public have long sought improve
ment in this article, and believe are ready to 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 seem 10 be possessed fully in
the Econa mist-a new stove, perfected and brought
out the past season, by Messrs TreadweIl, Perry
& Norton, of Albany. We heard so much of this
stove and it looked much like a stove intended
for use that we concluded to try them, and the
result of the experiment cOnYinces that the
proprIeters in their determination to make the best
ia The loorId, have succeeded. We regard the
Economist possessing all the merits above emu
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 in durability AID the use of fuel. Amonzk

remarkable stove There never has bsen, to our
knowledge any broiling xture that rs really sat

stove have been conducting series of experiments
upon broiling, ecitng some valuable facts, and re-
sulting in the invention of gridiF on adapted to
this stOve which has been secured by letters patent
aud is of the most admirable Things Of the kind
We ever saw-broilng without smoke, and keeping
the Goals in a constant glow. We are always glad
to do justice to mechanical improvements, and eB-
pecially such contribute largely to the general
good, the one above mentioned.
