II first premiums at every Fair where it has
been exhibited At the south-W estern Indiana
District Fair held here October, 1859, there were
but pre- niums offered for cooking stovesone for
the best wood cooking stove and for the best
cooking stove. The Economist took the FIRST
PREMIUM FOR THE BEST COOKING STOVE
FOR WOOD. Rocker, Klusman Il Co took the rst
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 1889.
In no branch of mechanical art has there
been more apparent advance than IN the man
ufactnre OF Stoves 1t Is but a few years since
the very name was novelty, representing a
huge, shaPeless structure, almost devoid of
use as ornament, These have gradually given place
TO 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
mcnt has been real, leaving nothing to be desired
on that point, but the severe 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 TO cook stoves-an article of
domestic economy that has more TO do with scolding
wives and crotchey servants than most people i'm
agine. The public have long sought an improve
ment in this article, and believe ready paw
any reasonable price for cooking stove IF il only
possesses the merits of size, weight, venience
durability, economy, and perfection of manufacture
These qualities seem TO be possessed most fully in
the Econ mist-a new stove, perfected and brought
out the past season, by Messrs. .Treadwell, Perry
h Norton, of Albany. We heard SO 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
propretSrs in their determination make the best
ia the icOrld, have succeeded We regard the
Economist possessing all the merits above EMU
nierated-as the great stove OF the day-far in ad-
vance Of anything ever attempted in the line of
stoves, perfect in all its appointments, and true to
it's in durability and the use of fuel. Among
the many conveniences attached to 1T, may be mem
toned large oven, with hooks arranged, for sus-
pending meats while roasting. copper water
tank, holding from IL to rs gallons-warmiug
/ closet, broiling hearth, de-, &C. The broiling
hearth is oneof the most noticeable features OF this
reInarkable stove. There never has been, to our
knowledge any broiling fixture that really sat
isactory in its operation The proprietors of this
stove have been conducting series of experiments
upon brOiling, elicting valuable facts and
/ sultng In the invention of a gridiron adapted TO
TINS stove Which has been secured by letters patent
and Is one Of the most admirable things ofthe kind
we ever saw-oroihng without smoke, and Keeping
| the Goals in constant glow. We are always glad
to do Justice to mechanical imI rovements and es-
peciay such as contribute largely to the general
good, As the one above mentioned.
