Il first premiums at every Fair where 1t has
been exhibited. At the uthWestern Indiana
District Fair, held here October 1859, there
but two prem offered for cooking stoves-one for
the best wood cooking an for tho best coal
cooking stove. The Economist took the FIRST
PREMIUM FOR THE BEST LOOKING STOVE
FOR WOOD. Rocker, 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 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
boon apparent advance than in tine man
utacturo of stoves. II is but few years since
the very name was novelty, representing
huge, shapeless structure, almost devoid of
use rs ornament, These have gradually given place
patterns of grace aud utility until tho varieties
markets now present have almost exhausted
the vocabulary of names; and the different phases
tue metal Is made t" assume, would astonish old
Vulcan himself. IN style and finish, the improve
nlaut 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 been
the in reference to cook stoYes-an article of
domestic economy that has more TODD with scolding
wives and crotchety servants than most people i'm
sgine. The public have long sought an improve
ment In this article, and we believe ready TO pay
any reasonable price for cooking stove, If Ii only
possesses the merits of size, weight convenience,
durability, economy aud perfection of manufacture.
These qualities to be possessed most fully in
the Econ mist--a new stove, perfected and brought
out the past season, Dy hessrs. IreadWells Perry
l. Norton, of Albany. We hoard much of this
stove, and it looked so much like stove intended
for use, that We concluded 10 try them, and the
result of the experiment convinces us that the
prOnrIeOr in their determination to make the best
store in the a0orid, have succeeded We regard tho
Economist possessing all the merits above
merated-as the great stove of the day-far in ad-
vance of anything attempted ia the liRe OF
stoves, perfect in all its appointments aud true to
its name in durability and the of fuel. Among
the many convenienCes attached TO 1t, may be men
toned largo oven with hooks arranged, for
pending meats while roasting. A copper water
tank holding from IL 10 IS gallons-warming
closet, broilng hearth, de-, &c. The broiling
hearth is of the noticeable features Of this
remarkable stove. There never has been, to our
knowledge, any broiling fixture that really sat-
isfactory in it's operation. The prUprietors Of this
stove have been conducting series Of experiments
upon brOiling, elcitng some valuable facts, and
sulting In the invention of q gridirOn adapted TO
this stove which has heen secured by letters patent,
and is of the admirable things Of the kind
wo ever saw-broiling without smoke, and keeping
the Goals in constant glow. We always glad
to do Justice to mechanical imI rovements and es'
pecialy such contribute largely TO tho general
good, as the one above mentioned.
