q first premiums at every Fair where it has
been exhibited. At the SOuth-W estern Indiana
District Fair, held here October, 1882 there were
but two premiums offered for cooking stovesomc for
the best wood cooking and for the best coal
cooking stove. The Economist rock the FIRST
PREMIUM FOR THE BEST LOOKING STOVE
FOR WOOD. Rocker, klusman u Go took the 1irst
premium for their cooking stove for coal. No other
premiums were offered The large SILVER medal was
awarded to the Economist ut the New York state
Fair; and the first premium at the United States
Fair held mt Chicggs: and twelve other state and
County Fairs in 1861.
In no branch of mechanical art has there
bceu more apparent advance than iii tue niitn-
ufacture of stoves. 1t is but IA few years since
the very a novelty, representing a
huge, shapeess structure, almost devoid OF
ornament, These have gradually given place
to patterns of grace and utility until the varieties
our markets present have almost exhausted
the vocabulary Of names and the different phases
the metal is made to assume, would astOuish old
Vulcan himself. In style and finish the improve
ment has been real, leaving nothing to DO desired
that point, but the severe competition i'll price,
( to which they have been subjected, has deprived
thcm of many of the more substantial qualities
desirable This more especially to have beer
the case m reference TO cook stoyes-an article of
domestic economy that has more TO do with sColdinG
wives and crOtchety servants than most people iui-
agine. The public have long sought improve
nent in this article, and believe ready pay
amy reasonable price for cooking stove, If 1t only
possesses the merits of size, weight, convenience,
durability, economy, and perfection of manufacture.
These qualities seem 10 be possessed most Iuily IN
the Econ nst-d new stove, perfected and brought
out the past season, by Messrs. Treadwell, Perry
s. Norton, OF Albany. We heard much of this
stove, ami it looked much like stove intended
for use, that we concluded to try them, and the
/ result of tine experiment cOnvinces that the
propeJSrs, i'll their discrimination to make the best
store IN the ,corId, have succeeded We regard the
Economist possessing all the merits above emu
morated-as the great stove OF the day-far III adj
vance of anything ever attempted in the line of
stoves perfect in all its appointments and true to
ii= name in durability aud the Hhe OF fuel. Among
the many conveniences attached TO 1t, may be
tiOued large oven, with hooks arranged, for eUs
pending meats while roasting. A copper water
tank, holding from II to rs gallons-warming
closet. broiling hearth, dc, &c. The broilng
hearth is of the noticeable features of this
remarkable stove. There never has been, to
knowledge, any broiling fl Nture that really
sfsctory in its operation. The proprietors Of this
stove have been conducting series of experiments
upon broiling, eciting some valuable facts, and re-
sulting in the invention of gridiron adapted to
TINS stove, which has been secured by letters patent,
aud is one of the admirable things OF the kind
We ever saw--broiliBg without smoke, and keeping
the Goals in a constant glow. We always glad
10 Justice to mechanical inn rovemeIIts, and
peciaIly such contribute largely To the general
! good, as the one above mentioned.
