n first premiums at every Fair where it has
been exhibited. At the South Western Indiana
District Fair, held here October, 1859, there we're
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 O0KING STOVE
FOR WOOD. 62eker, Klusman d 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 frat premium at the United States
Fair held at Chicago. and twelve other State ana
County Fairs in 1859.
In branch of mechanical art has there
been more apparent advance than in the man
ufacture of stoves. II is but few years since
the very name novelty, representing q
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
that point, but the competition in price,
TO which they have been subjected, has deprived
them of many Of the more substantial qualities

durability, economy, and perfection Of manufacture
These qualities seem TO be possessed most fully Ia
the Econ mst-a new stove, perfected and brought
out the past season, by messTs. TreadWeH, Perry
4 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 couvnces us that the
prODrIetSrs in their determination make the best
IN the aeord, have succeeded. We regard the
Economist 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 true TO
its name in durability and the use Of fuel Among
the many conyeniences attached to it, may be men
