~ 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 for
the best wood cooking and for the bast coal
cooking stove. The Economist took the FIRST
PREMIUM FOR THE BEST OOKING STOVE
FOR WOOD. Rocker, Klusman d 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 1862.
In branch of mechanical ant has there
baen more apparent advance than in the man
uiacture of stoves 1t is but few years since
the very novelty, representing a
huge, shapeless structure, almost as devoid of
use as ornament, These have gradually given place
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
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 seems more especially to have been
the case in reference 10 cook stoves-an article Of
domestic economy that has to do with scudina
wives and crotcheiy servants than most people i'm
agiue. The public have long sought improve
ment in this article and we believe are ready to- nav
any reasonable price for cooking stove, if it only
Possesses the merits of size, weight, convenience,
durability, economy, and perfection of manufactur-
These qualities seem to be possessed most fully in
the Econo mist-a new stove, perfected and brought
out the past season, by Messrs. Treadwell, Perry
q Norton, OF Albany. We heard 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 cOnvnces that the
proDrieers, in their determination make the
store in the aCOrid, have succeeded We regard the
Economist as possessing all the merits above
merated-as the great stove OF the day-far in adj
of anything attempted i'll the line OF
Stoves perfect in all its appointments and true to
its maine in durability and the of fuel. Among
the many conveniences attached to it, may be men
toned large oven, with hooks arranged, for sls-
pending meats while roasting. 4 copper water
tank, holding from Il to % misunderstanding
closet, broiling hearth, dc, &c. The broiling
hearth is of the most noticeable features of this
remarkable stove. There never has been, to
knowledge, any broing & Xture that really sat
isfactory i'll it's operation The proprietors of this
stove have been conducting series of experiments
upon broliRg eliciting valuable facts, and re-
sulting in the invention of gridirOn adapted 10
this stove which has been secured by letters PATENT
and is one of the admirable things of the kind
We ever saw-broiling without smoke, and keeping
the Goals 10 constant glow. We always glad
to do Justice TO mechanical improvements, aud
pecaly such as contribute largely to the general
good as the one above mentioned.
