4 first premiums at every Fair where it has
been exhibited. At the Southwestern Indiana
District Fair, held here October, 1859, there were
but two prem ums offered for cooking stovesone 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, K lusmsn q Co took he first
premium for their cooking stove for coal. No other
pren ums 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 aud
County Fairs III 1850.
In no branch of mechanical art has there
been "a more apparent advance than in toe man
utdcture OF stoves II il but few years since
the very name WAS novelty, representing a
huge, shapeless structure, almost devoid Of
ornament, These have gradually given place
10 patterns OF grace ana utility until the varieties
markets 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
neht has been real, leaving nothing TO DO 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 bee,
the case in reference TO cook stOves-an article Of
domestic economy that has more to 30 with 5COdmg
wives and crotchety servants than most people i'm
sgine. The public have long sought an improve
nent in this article and We 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 manufacture.
These qualities seem to be Possessed most fully in
the Econ Hiiat-1 new stove, perfected and brought
out tie past SEASON, by Aessrs. Treadwell, Perry
It Norton, OF Albany. We heard much of this
stove, and it looked much like a stove intended
for Itss. that We concluded 10 try them and the
result Of the experiment cobvnces IA that the
proDreters i'll their determination t" make the
m the yorld, have succeeded. We regard the
Economist a possessing all the merits above emu
merated--as the great stove Of the day-flr in adj
vance OF anything ever attempted i'll the line OF
stoves, perfect in all its appOin tments, and true to
its name in durability aad the of fuel. Among
the many convenences attached to It, may be mem
toned large oven, with hooks arranged for sus-
pending meats while roasting. A copper water
tank, holding from Il TO - gallons-warTnirg
closet, broilirg hearth, dc, &c. The broiIing
hearth is of the most noticeable features of this
remarkable stove. There has been, to our
knowledge, any broilinG xture that was really sat
isactory in lis operation. The propriet6rs Of this
have been conducting "A series of experiments
upon broiling, elicting valuable facts, and
sultng in the Invention of gridron adapted TO
this stove, which has been secured by letters patent
aud Is OF the most admirable things of the kind
ever saw-broiling without smoke, and keeping
the Goals in a constant glow. We are always glad
tn do justice to mechanical improvements, and es-
pecally such AS contribute 60 largely the general
good, the one above mentioned.
