HIHEs STO we HIS T.AEE.V' THE
N 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 stovesone for
the best wood cooking stove and for the best coal
cooking stove The Economist took the FIRST
PREMIUM FOR THE BEST LOOKING STOVE
FOR WOOD. Rocker, KIusman & Co took the f st
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
baen more apparent advance than in the man
ufncture of stoves. 1t is but few years since
the very a novelty, representing a
huge, shapeless structure, almost as devoid OF
use as ornament, These have gradually given place
to patterns Of grace aud 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 especially to have been
the case in reference to cook stoves-an article of
domestic economy that has more TO do with scoldng
wives and crotcheIy servants than most people i'm
agine. The public have long sought an improve
men in this article, and we believe ready pay
any reasonable price for cooking stove, if it only
possesses the merits of size, weight, nveniencc
durability, economy, and perfection of manufacture
These qualities seem 10 be possessed most fully in
the Econ mst-a new stove, perfected and brought
out the past season, by Messrs. TreadweIl, Perry
& Norton, of Albany. We heard much of this
stove and il looked 5 much like a stove intended
for use, that concluded to try them, and the
result of the experiment convinces that the
propretSrs in their determination to make the best
store in the tcorId have succeeded. We regard the
Economist possessing all the merits above emu
merated-as the great stove OF the day-far in adj
vance of anything attempted in the line of
stoves perfect in all its appointments and true to
It's name In durability and the use of fuel Among
tue many conveniences attached to 1t, may be
TONED large oven, with hooks arranged, for sus-
/ pending meats while roasting. A copper water
/ tank holding from II to rs gallons-warming
closet, broihng hearth, dc, &c. The broiing
hearth Is one OF the most noticeable features of this
! remarkable stove. There never has been to our
knowledge any broiling xture that was really sat
isfsctory in It's operation The proprieors of this
stove have been conducting series Of experiments
upon broiling, eliciting valuable facts and re-
sulting In the invention of a grfdiron ADAPTED to
this stove, which has been secured by letters
and is of tho most admirable things of tile kind
saw-broiliEg without smoke and keepine
the coals in a constant glow. We are ALWAYS gIad
to do Justice 10 mechanical improvements and es-
pecially such contribute largely the general
good as the one above mentioned.
