TEWfS STOP.E HAS TAKEN 1HE
N hrst premiums at every Fair where it has
been exhibited. At the South-W estern Indiana
District Fair, held here October, 1852 there were
but two premiums offered for cooking stoves-one for
COOKING stove The Economist took the FIRST
PREMIUM FOR THE BEST OOKING STOVE
FOR WOOD Roelker, Klusman 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 thors
been q more apparent advance than in the man
1facture of stoves. It is but few years since
tile 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 to assume, would astonish old
Vulcan himself. IN style and finish, the improve
ment has been real, leaving nothing to be 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 to have been
the case IN reference 10 COOK stoyesan article of
domestic economy that has to do with scolding
wives and crotchety servants than most people i'm
aglne- The public have long sought improve
ment in this article, and believe are ready to nav
any reasonable price Ton 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 Econu mlst-a new stove, perfected and brought
out the past season, pS hleSsrs. ITeadwell, Perry
& Norton, of Albany. We heard so much of this
stove, and it looked much like stove Intended
for Use, that concluded try them, and the
result of the experiment. couvinces that the
proDreters in their determination make the best
store an the Corid, have succeeded We regard the
Economist as possessing all the merits above emu
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 to
its name in durability and the of fuel Among
the many conveniences attached TO it, may be
toned largo oven, with hooks arranged, for sus-
pending meats while roasting. A copper water
tank, holding from II to % galIons-warming
closet, broiling hearth, dc, &C. The broling
hearth is Of the most noticeable features of this
remarkable stove. There never has been, to our
knowledge, any broiling xture that really sat
isfactory its operation. The prOprietors of this
stove have been conducting series of experiments
upon broling, eliciting some valuable facts, and
sulting in the invention of gridiron adapted to
this stove which has been secured by letters patent,
aud is one of the admirable things of the Kind
we ever saw-broilng without smoke, and keeping
the Goals in constant glow. We are always glad
to do Justice 10 mechanical imI rovements, and
pecially such contribute largely to the general
good, as the one above mentioned.
