WIHKS STO T"E HAS T.ERE.N" THE
Il first premiums at every Fair where ii has
been exhibited. At the Southwestern Indiana
District Fair, held here October, 1859, there were
but two premiums offered for cooking stoves-one for
the best wood cooking stove and for the best coal
cooking stove. The 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
awarded to the Economist at the New York State
Fair and the first premium at the United States
Fair held at Chicags. and twelve other State and
County Fairs in 1859.
In no branch of mechanical art has theirs
been more apparent advance than in the man
ufacture OF stoves. 1t is but few years since
! the very IA novelty, representing a
huge, shapeess structure, almost devoid OF
use as ornament These have gradually given place
to patterns of grace and utility until the varieties
cur markets now present have almost exhausted
the vocabulary of names; and the different phases
the metal is made to assume, would Rstonish old
Vulcan himself. In style aud 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 beer,
the case in reference TO cook stoyes-an article of
domestic economy that has more to do with scOlding
wives and crotcheIy servants than most people i'm
agiDe. The public have long sought an improve
ment in this article and we believe ready to pay
any reasonable price for cooking stove, If IL only
pessesses the rner@s Of size, weight. convenience
durability, economy, and perfection of manufacture
These qualities seem TO be possessed most fully in
the Econ mist-a new stove, perfected and brought
b Norton, o. Albany. We heard much of this
stove, and 1t looked much like a stove intended
for use, that concluded TO try them, and the
result of the experiment convinces that the
proprarsrs, in their determination make the best
store the lcorLd, have succeeded. We regard the
Economist possessing all the merits above
merated-as the great stove of the day-far in ad-
vance of anything ever attempted in the line of
Stoves perfect in all its appointments, and true
its name in durability and the of fuel. Among
the many conveniences attached to it, may be men
toned large oven, with hooks arranged, for
pending meats while roasting. A copper water
tank, holding from II to rs gallons-warming
closet, broiling hearth, DC, &c. The broiling
hearth il Of the most noticeable features of this
remarkable stove. There never has been, to
knowledge, any broiling xture that really
isactory in its operation. The proprietors of this
stove have been conducting a series of experiments
upon broiling, elicting valuable facts, and
sulting in the invention of gridiron adapted to
this stove, which has been secured by letters patent
and one of the admirable things of the kind
saw-broiing without smoke and keeping
the Goals in constant glow. We always glad
to do justice to mechanical movements, and es-
pecially such contribute largely the general
good, as the one above mentioned
