Tho history Of stoves and ranges show
their manufacture TO be of compsrAtiyo re-
cent origin, and the improvements made by
The American Manufacturers within the past
ten or ihe years have astonishod tho civil
izod world.
Cardinal PoliEnac, Of France, was the arst
who made the A.tompt tn construct stove
of iron; he succeeded in 1910 in making
close Fireplace, with hollow backs, hearths
and jams of iron, that would sufn soft coal
and wood.
This was shortly followed by .les ''Hol-
land" stove, being plain box stoyc having
small smoke pipe or aue at tho top; one of
thee stoves can be seen in tho statahoase al
Richmond, VA, il being very largo and
most olaRoraiely nsished, bearing date OF
ITO.
To trace in their order the various styles
and Improvements of stoves from the time vi
Polignac down to the preeent day, might
prove somewhat Interesting TO many of our
readers; for the sake of SreviLy, however, we
propose merely TO examine tho more eract.
