II first premiums at every Fair where 1t has
been exhibited. At the South Western Indians
District Fair, held here October, 1859, there were
but two premiums offered for cooking stoyes-one for
the best wood cooking stoyean for the best coal
cooking stove. The Economist took the FIRST
PREMIUM FOR THE BEST COOKING STOVE
FOR WOOD Rocker, hlusman a Go took the FIRST
premium for their cooking stove for coal No other
premiums We're offered. The large silver medal was
awarded TO the Economist at the New York State
Fairs and the first premium at the United States
Fair held at Chicago, and twelve other state and
County Fairs in 1868.

on that point, but the severe competition in price,
To which they have been subjected, has deprived
them of many OF tie more substantial qualitie
desirable. This seems more especially to have been
the in reference To cook stoves-an article of
domestic economy that has more to with scolding
wives and crotcheIy servants than most people i'm
agiue. The public have long sought an Improve
ment in this article, aud we believe ready to pay
any reasonable price for cooking stove, If it only
possesses the merits Of size, weight convenience,
durability, economy, and perfection of manufacture.
These qualities seem TO be possessed most fully in
the Econ omist-a new stove, perfected and brought
out the past season. by Messrs. Treadwell, Perry
& Norton, of Albany. We heard much of this
stove and it looked much like a stove intended
for use that concluded to try them, and the
result of the experiment convinces that the
proprIet0rs in their determination to make the best
store in the gorid, have succeeded. We regard the
Economist possessing all the merits above enU-
merated-as the great stove of the dsy-far in ad-
vance of anything attempted in the line of
stoves, perfect in all its appointments, and true to
its name in durability aud the use of fuel Among

hearth is Of the most noticeable features Of this
remarkable stove. There has been, to our
knowledge, any broiling fixture that really

stove have been conducting Il series of experiments

we ever saw-brolling without smoke, and keeping

good, as the one above mentioned.
