The Economist.


II first premiums at every Fair where it has
been exhibited. At the South Western Indiana
District Fair, held here October, 1859, there were
but two premiums offered for cooking stoves-one fn
the best wood cooking stove and for the best c
4 cooking stove. The Economist took the FIRST
1 PREMIUM FOR THE BEST : OOkING STOVE
FOR WOOD. Rocker, Klusman d Go took he 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; aud the first premium at the United States
Far held at Chicago. and twelve other State and
/ County Fairs in 1852.
In no branch of mechancal art has tberA
/ been more apparent advance than in tae man
utacture of stoves 1t is but a few years since
| the very novelty representing a
huge, shapeless structure, almost a. 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
mttlt mas beeh rear, 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 substantial Qualities
desirable This seems more especially to have beel
the case in reference to cook stoves-an article Of
domestic economy that has more to do with scudiug
wives and cTOtchety servants than people i'm
agine The public have long sought an improve
ment in this article, and believe ready pay
any reasonable price for cooking stove, if 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 mist-a new stove perfected and brought
out the past season, by Messrs. Treadwell, Perry
/ Il Norton, of Albany. We heard so much Of this
stove, and it looked so much like Il stove intended
for use, that concluded to try them and the
I result of the experiment cOnyinces that the
proUrIetsrs, in their determination to make the b.
the lgOrld, have succeeded. We regard the
Economist possessing all the merits above emu
nlerated-as the great stove of the day-far in id-
vance OF anything ever attempted i'll the Iiuc Of
stoves, perfect in all its appointments, and true to
it's in durability and the of fuel Among
the many conveniences attached to IL, may be
toned large oven, with hooks arranged, for sus-
pending meats while roasting. 4 copper water
tank, holding from II to Is notwithstanding
closet, broiing hearth, &c, &c. The broilnr
hearth is of the noticeable features Of this
remarkable stove. There never has been, to our
knowledge any broiling fixture that WAS really sat
isfactory i'll its operation. The propretors of this
stove have been conducting series of experiments
upon broiling, ecitng valuable facts, aud re-
sultinS in the invention of gridiron adapted TO
this stOve which has Aeen secured by letters patent
and is of the most admirable things of the kind
we saw-broiling without smoke, and keeping
the Goals in a constant glow. We always glad
do justice to mechanical imI rovements, and es-
pecially such contribute largely the general
good, as the one above mentioned.
