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 stovesoue for
the best wood cooking stoveand one for the best coal
cooking stove The Economist took the FIRST
PREMIUM FOR THE BEST LOOKING STOVE
FOX WOOD. Rocker, Klusman Co took the first
premium for their cooking stove for coal No other
premiums offered. Tho 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 Stale and
County Fairs in 1859.
In no branch of mechanical art has there
been more apparent advance than in the man
ufacture of stoves. II is but a few years since
the very name was novelty, representing a
huge, shapeless structure, almost devoid OF
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 assume, would astonish old
Vulcan himself. In style and finish, the improve.
ment has been real, leaving nothing to DO desired
on that point, but the competition 10 price
to which they have been subjected, has deprived
them of many of the substantial qualities
desirable. This seems more especially to have been
the in reference TO cook stoves-an article Of
domestic economy that has more to do with scoldng
wives and crotchety servants than most people i'm
agine. The public have long sought an improve
ment in this article aud we believe ready pay
any reasonable price for cooking stove, if il only
possesses the merits of size, weight, Convenience
durability economy, and perfection of manufacture
These qualities seem 70 be possessed most fully in
the Econ ,mist--a stove, perfected and brought
out the past season, by Messrs. Treadwell, Perry
& 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 convinces that the
propreteTs, in their determination make the best
store ia the i1orLd, have succeeded We regard the
Economist possessing all the merits above emu
merated-as the great stove of the day--far in ad-
of az thing attempted in the line Of
stoves, perfect in all its appointments and true to
its name in durability and the use Of fuel. Among
the many conveniences attached to It, may be men
toned large oven, with hooks arranged, for sua-
pending meats while roasting. A copper water
tank, holding from II 60 Is gallons--warming
closet, broiling hearth, dc, &c The broiling
hearth s of the most noticeable features of this
remarkable stove. There never has been, to our
knowledge, any brOiIing fixture that really sat
isfactory in its operation. The prUprietors Of this
stove have been conducting 3 series of experiments
upon broing, elicting valuable facts, and 70
sulting In the invention of gridiroD adapted to
this stove, which has been secured by letters patent
and Is one of the most admirable things of the kind
VIC ever saw-brOiling without smoke and keeping
the Goals 10 a constant glow. We are always glad
to do justice to mechanical improvements, and es-
pecally such contribute largely the general
good, as the one above mentioned
The Economist, While h is Commanding such large
sale, will be found only at SCANTLiN & STE
