Il first premiums at every Fair where it has
been exhibited. At the South Western Indiana
District Fair, held here October, 1852 there were
but two premiums offered for cooking stoves-one for
the best wood cooking for the best coal
cooking stove. The Economist took the FIRST
PREMIUM FOR THE BEST LOOKING STOVE
FOX WOOD. Rocker, Klusman Il Co took the first
premium for their cooking stove for coal. No other
premiums 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 and
County Fairs in 1859
In no branch of mechanical art has there
been more apparent advance than in the man
uiacture of stoves. 1t is but few years since
the very name was n novelty, representing n
huge, shapeless structure, almost devoid of
use ornament, These have gradually given place
patterns of grace aud utility until the varieties
our markets now present have almost exhausted
the vocabulary OF names; pnd 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
on that point, but the competition in price,
TO which they have been subjected, has deprived
them of many of the more substantial qualities
desirable This more especially have been
the in reference to cook stoves-an article Of
domestic economy that has to do with scoldinr
wives and crotche,y servants than most people i'm
aglhe. The public have long sought an improve
ment in this article, and we believe ready 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 fully in
the Econ mist-a new stove, perfected and brought
& Norton, of Albany. We hoard much of this
stove, and it looked so much like stove intended
for use, that concluded to try them, and the
result of the experiment convinces that the
proDretsrs, in their determination make the best
in the loOrld, have succeeded. We regard the
Economist as possessing all the merits above emu
merated-as the great stove Of the day-far in adj
vance of anything ever attempted in the line of
stoves, perfect in all its appointments, and to
its name in durability and the OF fuel. Among
the many convenences attached to it, may be mem

hearth is of the most noticeable features this
remarkable stove. There never has been, to our
knowledge, any broilng fixture that really

stove have been conducting series Of experiments

and is one of the 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 imp mIrovements, and
pecialy such contribute largely to the general
good, as the above mentioned.
