cooking stove The Economist took the FIRST
PREMIUM FOR THE BEST COOKING STOVE
FOR WOOD. Rocker, Klusman & Co took the first

premiums were offered. The large silver medal was
awarded to the Economist at the New York State
Fair and the first premium sehe United States
Fair held at Chicago. and twelve other State and
County Fairs in 1859.
In no branch of mechanical art has there
bOen a more apparent advance than in tine
ufacture OF stoves. II Is but a few years since
the very name a 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
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
meut has been real, leaving nothing to be desired
that point but the severe competition IN price,
to which they have been subjected, mas deprived
them of many of the more substantial qualities
desirable. This seems more especially TO have bsei,
the case in reference cook stoves-an article Of
domestic economy that has To do with scoIdiug
wives and crotche,y servants han most people I'M
ayine The public have lrl4,. sDEght an improve
in This article, and We believe ready to pay
any reasonable price for cooking stoye if il only
possesses the merits Of size, weight convenience,
durability, economy, and perfection of manutacturt
These qualities seem TO DO possessed most fully IN
the Economists 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 so much like a stove intended
for use that We concluded 10 try them, and the
result of the experiment cOuvInces MS that the
proprleters in their determination 10 make thebesi
store il the loOrld, have succeeded. We Regard tho
Economist possessing all the merits above emu
merated-as the great stove OF the day-tar in al
vance of anNthiug ever attempted ia the line Ot
stoves, peri, IL all its appointments, and true 10
it's name in durability and the use OF fuel Among
the many enenoes attached to IT., may be
toned large JNcH, with hooks arranged, for
pending meats while ROASTING. A copper water
tank, holding from Il TO - galluus-warming
closet, broing hearth, dc, &c. The bruilins
hearth OF the noticeable features OF this
! remarkable stove. There never has been, to
knowledge any broiling dNtute that WAS really sat
isfactOry iii its speriiiuU. The prupretors of this
stove have been conducting series Of experiments
upon bruiIing, slicitiug valuable facts and
sultiug in the t,.Veutun OF gTidiron adapted TO
this stove, which has been secured 10y letters patent,
and is one of tho admirable things 0fthe kind
we ever silw-broiling without smoke, aud keeping
the Goals in Il constant glow. We always glad
to do Justice mechanical inn rUVemoHts and
pecially such contribute SO largely 10 the general
good as the above mentioned.
