A NEW ENTERPRISE.

Seven years ago we adopted the plan Of send
ing our aFarmer'' Cooking Stoves through the
country with wagons, by our travelling sales
men. in order to supply want long felt in the
South, and that each family might have an op-
portunity of seeing if not purchasing one of
these indispensable household articles The
abundant success of our enterprise throughout
the States of Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee
and Georgia, and the universal favor with which
our Stoves are received everywhere, convinces
us that in order to supply the continued grow
ing demand, we must largely increase our for,
ces 1T the Foundry; hence we have increased
our daily manufacture Of this one pattern to
thir5y and will still further increase it to fifty
if or trade continues to demandit. Our sales
men, who will visit you, are authorized to give
same terms as though you made the purchase
direct from ourselves at the Foundry. We
have but one price, which is cast on the Stove,
and from that we never deviate.
This Stove has no complicated arrangements,
sucsl as dampers and inside f1ue plates, as in
other Stoves, which confuse the mind, and the
neglect of which interferes with the perfect
working of the Stove, but is so simple that any
one may use it successfully. 1t is made from
the best qualities of new iron, only so mixed
as to secure tough, strong plate, which is very
heavy, the cracking of which by fire neuer oc-
cura. Below we publish few Of the many re-
con,mends we are receiving daily from some OF
the best citizens Of the State:
