-M first premiums at every Fair where it has
been exhibited. at the South Western Indiana
District Fair, held here October, 1859, there
but two premiums offered for cooki ug stOvesone for
the best wood cooking and TOR the best coal
cooking stove The Economist took the FIRST
PREMIUM FOR THE BEST OOKING STOVE
FOX WOOD. Rocker, KlusmAn Il Co took the first
premium for their cooking stove for coal. No other
premiums offered. The large silver medal was
awarded to the Economist at the New York State
Fair and the nrst PREMIUM at the United States
Fair held at Chicago, aud twelve other State and
County Fairs in 1859.
Ia no branch of mechanical art has there
bsen apparent advance than in tns NAH
ufacture of stoves. IL is but few years since
the very novelty, representing
I huge, shapei'es structure, almost devoid of
ornament, THESE have gradually given place
to patterns Of grace aud ntity until the varieties
our markets now present have almost exhausted
the vocabulary ri names and the different phases
tho metal is made to assume, would astonisli old
Vulcan him elf. 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 to do with scolding
wives and crotcheiy servants than people i'm
agine. The public have long sought an improve
ment in this article, and 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 misI--a new stove, perfected and brought
out the past season, by Messrs. TreadwelI, Perry
y norton, OF Albany. W nedfd much OF this
stove, and il looked so much like stove intended
for use, that concluded to try them, and the
result of the experiment eOnvinces that the
proprietsrs, in their determination to make the best
store in the tUorId, have succeeded. We regard the
Economist Us possessing all the merits above emu
merated-as the great stove OF the day-fAr in adj
vance of anything ever attempted la the line of
stoves, perfect in all its appointments, and to
its name i'll durability and the of fuel. Among
the many convenience attached to 1t, may be mem
toned q largo oven, with hooks arranged, for
pending meats while roasting A copper
tank, holding from IL to Is gallons-warming
closet, broiling hearth, dc, &c. The broiling
hearth ID of the noticeable features of this
remarkable stove. There never has been, cur
knowledge, any broiling hxture that really sat-
isfactory in its operation The proprietors of this
stove have been conducting q series of experiments
upon broiling, elicting valuable facts,
sulting In the invention OF a gridron adapted to
this stoye 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 in a constant glow. We are always glad
to do justice to mechanical imp rovements, and
peciay such contribute largely to the general
good, as the one above mentioned. s.tst 49, d..
