N first premiums at every Fair where it has
been exhibited. At the South Weste Indiana
District Fair, held here October, 1852 there were
but two premiums offered for cooking stoves-one for
the best wood cooking stoyean one for the best coal
cooking stove; The Economist took the FIRST
PREMIUM FOR THE BEST COOKING STOVE
FOR WOOD. Rocker, Kusman Il 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
uiacture of stoves. 1t is but few years since
the very name was novelty, representing
huge, shapeless structure, almost devoid of
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 to assume, would astonish old
Vulcan himself. In style and finish, the improve
ment has been real, leaving nothing to bo desired
ON 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 have been
the case in reference to cook stoves-an article of
domestic economy that has more to'lo with Sc"ldng
wives and crotche,y servants than most people i'm
agine. The public have Long sought an improve
ment in this article and believe are ready to ray
any reasonable price for cooking stove, if it only
possesses tire merits 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
out the past season, by Messrs. Treadwell, Perry
X Norton, OF Albany. we heard so much OF this
stove, and it looked so much like sSOve intended
for use, that concluded to try them, and the
result of the experiment convinces that the
prCDrIetGrs, in their determination make the be
store in the acorld have succeeded. We regard the
Economist possessing all the merits above emu
mer;tted-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 cOnvenences attached to 1t, may be men
toned large oven, with hooks arranged, for sus-
pending meats while roasting. A copper water
tank, holding from II to % Notwithstanding
closet, broiling hearth, dc, &c. The broiling
hearth Is of the most noticeable features OEtis
remarkable stove. There never has been, to
knowledge, any broiliHg fixture that really
isfactory in its operation The proprietors of this
stove have been conducting 4 series of experiments
upon brOing, elicting some valuable facts and re-
sulting in the invention of grdron adapted TO
this stove, which has been secured by letters patent
and is of the most admirable things of the kind
we ever sdw-broiling without smoke and keeping
the Goals in a constant glow. We always glad
to do Justice to mechanical inn rovemeuts, and es-
peCaly such contribute So largely to the general
good, the one above mentioned.
