II tirst premiums Al every Fair where il has
been exhibited. At the South Western Iuditntt
District Hair, held here October, 1889 there were
but two premiums offered for cooking -toves-One fog
cooking stove. The Economist took the Fl RSF
PREMIUM FOR THE BEST COOKING STOVE
FOR WOOD. Roelker, hIusman & Co took the first
premium Tor their cooking stove tor coal No other
premiums offered The large silver medal was
awarded TO the Economist at the New York STATE
FAR; and the first premium Il; the United States
F5lr held at Chicago. and twelve other STATE and
County Fairs in 1859.
In branch Of mechanicsi art has there
been more apparent advance than III mAn-
utactEre OF stoves. Ii Is but 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
our markets now present have almost exhausted
the vocabulary OF names: and the different phases
the metal is made tn assume, would astonish old
Vulcan himself. In style and finish, the improve
ment has been real leaving nothing to be desired
that point, but the severe 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 beeIt
the case in reference to cook stoves-an article OF
domestic economy that las more to do with Seeding
wives and crotchcty servants than most people i'm
Hgino. The public have long sought an Improve
in this article, and believe ready to pay
any reasonable price for cooking stove, if ii only
uosst.sS.s the merits Of size, weight. convenience,
durability, economy, and perfection of manufacture.
These qualities seem 10 be possessed most fully in
the Econ .mist-a now stove, perfected and brought
l. Norton, Of Albany. We heard much of this
stove, and it looked much like a stove intended
for HSe, that concluded to try them, and the
result of the experiment convinces lis that the
proprIetors, in their determination to make the best
store IN the ic0rld, have succeeded. We regard the
Economist possessing all the merits above
uerated-as the great stove OF the day-tar in ad-
vance of anything attempted i'll the line of
stoves, perfect in all its appointments, and true to
its name i'll durability and the use of fuel. Among
the many eonveniences attached to 1t, may be mon
toned IA large oven, with hooks arranged for
pending meats while roasting. copper water
tank, holding from II to % misunderstanding
closet, broiing hearth, &c, &c. The brOiling
hearth is of the most noticeable features OF this
remarkable stove. There never has been, to our
know ledge any broiliug hXtuIe that really sat
sttctory ill its operation. The proprietors Of this
stove have been conducting series of experiments
upon hroiling, eciting valuable facts, and re-
suit. = in the invention OF Il gridirun adapted to
this stove which has been secured by letters patent,
and Is of the most admirable things of the kind
we ever saw-brOiiHg without smoke, and keel ing
the Goals in constant glow. We always glad
to do Justice to mechanical inn rovements. and
peciaIy sIch contribute largely to the general
good, as the one above mentioned.
