II first premiums at every Fair where it has
been exhibited. At the SoUth-Wcsteru Indiana
District Fair held here October, 1859, there we're
but two premiums offered for cooking stoves-oue for
tn" best wood cooking stove and for the best coal
cooking stove. The Economist took the FIRST
PREMIUM FOR THE BEST COOKING STOVE
FOR WOOD Raciker Klusnau d Co took the first
premium for their cooking stove for coal. No other
premiums were offered z ne large silver medal was
Jaw 4rded to the Economist at tlie New York State
Fair; aud the first premium the United Siates
Fair held al Chicago, and twelve other State ard
County Fairs in 1859.
In no branch OF mechanical arr has tba,.
bsen more apparent advance than in tne aisp-
utacture OF stoves. 1t is but few years since
the very name was "A novelty, representing
huge, slIapeless structure almost as devoid Of
use as ornament, These have gradually given place
TO patterns of grace and utility until tile varieres
our markets now present have almost exhausted
the vocabulary u names and the different phRsss
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
that point, but the severe competition in price
which they have been subjected, has deprived
them of many of the more substantial qualities
desirable This seems more especially 10 have been
the i'll reference to cook stoyes-.m article Of
domestic economy that has more to do with scoding
wives and crotche.y servants than most people i'm
agiue. The public have long sought improve
ment in this article, ana believe ready to nav
any reasonable price for cooking stove, if it only
possesses the merits of size, weight convenience,
durability, economy, and perfection of Manufacture
These qualities TO be possessed most fully in
the Econ mst--si stove, perfected and brought
& Norton, Of Albany. We hoard so much Of this
stove, and it looked much like IA stove intended
for use, that concluded to try them, and the
result of the experiment cOnvinces that the
proDreters, in their determination to make the 5esc
store ia the IUOrtd have succeeded. We regard the
Economist as possessing all the merits above emu
merated-as the great stove OF the day-far in adj
vance of anything attempted in the linz of
stoves, perfect in all its appointments, and true to
its name in durability and the use of fuel. Among
the many Conveniences attached 1t, may be mem
toned large oven, with hooks arranged, for sus-
pending meats while roasting A copper water
tank, holding from II to 25 gallons-warming
closet brOiling hearth, DC, &c. The broiling
hearth is of che most noticeable features of this
remarkable stove There never has been, TO our
knowledge any broiling fixture that was really sat
istactOry III its operation The propTietorg Of this
stove have been conducting series of experiments
upon broiling, eciting valuable facts and re-
sulting in the invention of gridiron adapted to
this stove which has been secured by letters PATENT
and is of the most admirable things of the kind
we ever saw-broilng without smoke, and keeping
the Goals in a constant glow. We always glad
to do justice to mechanical inn royements, and
pecally such contribute so largely to the general
good, rs the one above mentioned.
