a first premiums at everv Fair where Il has
been exhibited. At the South Western Indiana
District Fair, held here October, 1859, there
but two premiums offered for cooking stovesone tor
the best wood cooking Tor the host coal
cooking stove. The Economist took the FIRST
PREMIUM FOR THE BEST OOKING STOVE
FOR WOOD. Rocker. klusnan Il Co took the first
premium for their cooking stove for coal. No other
premiums 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 tweive other State and
County Fairs in 1909.

that point, but the severe competition in price
10 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 stoyes-an article OF
domestic economy that has more to do with scolding
wives and crotchety servants than most people i'm
agine. The public have hong sought improve
ment in this article, and We believe ready to pay
any reasonable price for cooking stove, if il only
Possesses the merits of size, weight convenience
durability, economy, aud perfection OF manufac uFu.
These qualities seem 10 be POSSESSED most fully ia
out the past seasons by Messrs Treadwell, Perry
i Norton of Albany. We heard so much of this
stove, and it looked 50 much like stove intended
for use, that We concluded to try them, and the
result OF the experiment c0uvinces that the
proDrieters, in their dissemination TO make the best
store ia Che p0F5d, have succeeded. We regard the
Economist possessing all the merits above emu
merated-as tie great stove OF the day--aT in adj
vance Of anything ever attempted in the line OF
Stoves perfect in all its appointments, and eiue 10
its name in durability and the Use of fuel. Among
the many convenicuces attached TO IT, may be mon
toned alargc oven with hooks arranged, for sus-
pending meats while roasting. A copper water
tank, holding from u to % gallons-warminlr
closet, broiling hearth, DC, &c. The broiinlc
hearth is of the most noticeable features of this
remarkable stove. There never has been, to our
knowledge, any broing fixture that was really sat
isactory in its operation. The prOprietors Of this
stove haye been conducting series Of experiments
upon broing, eliciting valuable facts, and
sulting in the invention o. a gridiron adapted 10
this stoye which has been secured by letters patent
and is one of the most admirable things of the kind
We ever saw--broiling without smoke, and keeping
the Goals in constant glow We are always glad
to do justice to mechanical improvements, and es-
pecially such contribute largely the general
good, as the one above mentioned.
