THE ECONOMIST!

MONEY SAVED is MONEY MADE.
Having purchased the right to manufacture the
Patent Reversible Crate. known as the
ECONOMIST.
We beg leave to call the attention of the citi-
zens of Staunton, to the many advantages offered
examine it. we claim that it is the most econom-
ica Crate in use, being so arranged as to utilize
all the heat generated.
1t is made to fit any fire place, without the trou-
BILE and expense Of brick and mortar
Its economy and general superiority are at once

cost of one will scarcely exceed the outlay usually
made to a mason for fitting an ordinary crate to
chimney.
The following testimonials from persons who
have used this Crate attest its merits.

The Economist Crate is one that will recon-
mend itself to any one who desires to have all
the advantages of an open Ora tie, placed in any
ordinary fire place. without the trouble OF brick
ing up around common CRATES. 1t has also an
additional advantage in being adjusted Detter TO
give out heat to retain heat, to afford an easy de-
livery of cinders and ashes without diffusion OF
dust, and to be fixed so as to preserve fire with
safety during the prolonged absence from Ine
apartment. think it an excellent invention that
will prove good on trial JOHN H. FACE.
DIEssRs. WILLIAM & NICHE:
have had in use for some time your Crate
known as the Economist. l am highly pleased
with it. 1t possesses many advantages over the
old style fixed crate. 1t throws ont the heat bet
ter is more easily cleaned OF the debris, requires
no brickng up. and can be raised and lowered to
any desired angle l believe from the superior
points it possesses. it will come into general use
and entirely supercede the old fashioned nxeo
