Il first premiums at every Fair where it has
been exhibited, At the South Western Indiana
District Fair, held here October. 1882 there were
but two premiums offered for cooking stoyesone for
the best wood cooking one for the best coal
cooking stove. The Economist took the FIRST
PREMIUM FOR THE BEST COOKING STOVE
FOR WOOD. Rocker, Klusman & Co. took the first
premium for their cooking stove for coal No other
premiums were offered. The large silver medal 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 man
ufacture of stoves. 1t is but a few years since
the very novelty, representing a
huge, shapeless structure, almost as devoid OF
ornament, These have gradually given place
to patterns of grace ana 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 Ia style and finish, the improve
ment has been real, leaving nothing to be desired
that point but the severe competition IN prlce,
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 scoldlnE
wives and crOtcheIy servants than most people in'-
agine. The public have long sought an improve
ment in this article, and believe ready topay
any reasonable price for cooking stoYc 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 Economist new stove, perfected and brought
& Norton, of Albany. We heard so much of this
stove, and it looked much like stove intended
for use, that we concluded to try them, and the
result of the experiment convinces us~that the
proDrieters, in their determination to make theber
store IL, the sCorTd, have succeeded. We regard the
Economist possessing all the merits above emu
merated-as the great stove Of the day-far in al
vance of anything ever attempted in the line Vl
stoves, perfect in all its appointments, and true to
its name in durability ami the Use of fuel Among
the many convenences attached TO 1t, may be mem
toned large oven, with hooks arranged, for
| pending meats whilo roasting. copper water
| tank, holding from Il to % gallons-warming
closet, broing hearth, &c, sc. Tie broiling
hearth is of the most noticeable features of this
remarkable stove. There has been, TO our
knowledge any broiling fixture that really sat
isiactory in its operation. The propretors of this
stove have been conducting series of experiments
upon broiling, ecitng valuable facts, aud re-
sulting in the invention OF gtidiron adapted 10
this stove which has been secured by letters patent,
and is Que Of the most admirable things of the kind
we ever saw-broilrg without smoke, ard keeping
the Goals in Il constant glow We are always glad
to do Justice TO mechanical inn royements and es-
pecialiy such as contribute largely TO the general
good, the above mentioned.

sale, will be found only AT SCANELlN IL SEE-
