II first premiums at every Fair where it has
been exhibited, At the South Western Indiana
District Fair, held here October 1859, there we're
but tive premiums offered for cooking stoves-one for
the best wood cooking stove and for the best coal
cooking stove Inc ECONOMIST took the FIRST
PREMIUM FOR THE BEST LOOKING STOVE
/ FOR WOOD. Rocker, Klusman & Co took the first
premium for their cooking stove for coal No other
premiums offered. The large silver modal 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
! been more apparent advance than in the
ufacture of stoves. II is but a few years since
the very name was novelty, representing
huge, shapeess 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
ment has heen real, leaving nothing to be 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 scoding
wives and crotchey servants than most people i'm
agine. The public have long sought improve
in this article, and believe ready TO pay
reasonable price for cooking stove, If it only
possesses the merits of size, weight convenfence,
durability, economy, and perfection of manufacture.
These qualities seem 10 be possessed most fully in
the Economists new stove, perfected and brought
out the past seasc Il, by Messrs Treadwel Perry
4 Norton, of Albany. We heard much of this
stove, and it looked much like n stove intended
for use, that we concluded to try them, and the
result of the experiment cOuvinces that the
proprietsrs IN their determination TO make the best
store the l0OrId, have succeeded. We regard the
Economist possessing all the merits above emu
merated-as the great stove of the day-far in ad-
vance of anything ever attempted in the line of
Stoves perfect in NJ its appointments, and true to
its name in durabity and the use of fuel Among
the many conveniences attached to it, may be men

remarkable stove. There never has been, to our
knowledge any broiling fixture that was really sat

We ever saw-broiling without smoke, and keeping
