M first premiums at every Fair where il has
been exhibited. At the South w estern Indiana
District Fair, held here October 1859, there were
but two premiums offered for cooking stoves-one for
the best wood cosking stove, and for the
cooking stove, The Economist took the FIRST
PREMIUM FOR THE BEST COOKING STOVE
FOR WOOD. Rocker, klusman IL Go took the first
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
ufacture of stoves. 1t is but few years since
the very novelty, representing a
huge, shapeless structure, almost 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 BIO desired
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 more especially to have been
the In reference TO cook stoves-an article of
domestic economy that has more to do with sc0ldine
wives and crOtcheIy servants than most people i'm
agIne. The public have long sought an improve
ment in this article, and believe are 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 TO be possessed most fully in
the Econ mist-a now stove, perfected and brought
& Norton, of Albany. We heard SO much of this
stove, and it looked mncl. like IA intended
for use, that concluded to try them, and the
result of the experiment couvinces that the
proDrIetSrs in their determination to make the best
store the lcOrld, have succeeded. We regard the
Economist as possessing all the merits above emu
merated-as the great stove OF the day--far in ad-
vance of anything attempted in the line of
stoves, perfect in all its appointments, and to
its name in durability and the use of fuel. Among
the many conveniences attached TO it, may be mon
toned a largo oven, with hooks arranged for sus-
pending meats while roasting. copper water
tank, holding from u TO % gallons--warming
closet, broiling hearth, dc, &c. The broiling
hearth is one the noticeable features of this
remarkable stove. There never has been, to our
knowledge, any brOiling fixture that really sat
isactory its operation. The proprietors of this
stove have been conducting series of experiments
upon broiling, elicting valuable facts, and
sultng 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-broiling without smoke, and keeping
the Goals ia a constant glow. We are always glad
to do justice TO mechanical imp rovements, and os-
pecaly such contribute largely to the general
good, as the one above mentioned.
