Iu the vast storehouse of the World' Ex- lositiou, showing, in endless array, the com lined wonder of the world of inventive ge nius, there is probably nothing that has at tracted such universal attention for com bined beauty and iutriusic merit as the ex. hibit of the Wrouubt-lron lUnge Company of St. Urn!, Mo. "Wrought irou, the very name i significant of the process of manufacture, which, at the very ouset, over- come the t hief aud great objection, hitherto ucli an apparently insurmountable barrier, mitigating against the durability of iron as applied to range or stove purposes. Home euucutiou teaches that the ordinary stove a.id stove cover made of cast-iron will inev Itably uud unexpectedly yield to inteuse heat. A stove cover accidentally dropped, if it be of the ordinary cast-iiou of the aver ngc stove or range, will crack or break. Ihe result is obvious in both instance a worse (hull useless appendage. Cast-iron, n ap plied iu Ihe manufacture of stoves, 11s Well us iinyihiug else, is the crudest, cheapest and most fii-ilile. Malleable-iron, to the contrary, dillcrs in that it possess, creut te nacity. It is rvnlly the mainstay of iron manufacturing, uud, unlike its lesser proto type, can be completely united by welding. It in of the hichest crade of iron, and ranks hcxttost. t l. In view of these facts, ilisu- pciionty of malleable and wrought iron arti cles for cooking purposes over cast-iron is so Uiiiuilcst Itiat there is 110 room for doiint. To alt.1111 this point by the production of ranges thus made, bus been one of the studies to which the St. I.ouis Wrouuht-lion Company have given year of labor, result ing in the development of A class, 01 ranges which, oil account of greater durability, is without equal iu the world. Add to this the experience in this branch of industry which taught t belli last how to Utilize the pnn- ctphsof he, I (or cooking uud kindnd pur poses, and the acme of perlectiou is attained 111 the piodiicts of the vt loncht Iron Buiige Company of St, Louis. Iu the resume of piuiiu.'H to which this company so justly claims pre-eminence, may be mentioned larger cooking capacity, ease of management ceitainty of operation and solid economy in the use hi fuel a quartet of merit seldom equalled and never excelled. Thin view ol the 1 fl'orts of this company towaids benefiting mankind by a really su perior article is borne out by the jury of awaidsof the class in which the St. Louis Wrought-Irou liuiigo Company entered in competition, who awarded llu iii the highest premium, three gold medals, (or their en tries, as follows: 1 irst gold premium ou best hotel ranges, first gold premium on laundry ntoe, first gold premium best colli olive dis play of ranges, uud silver premium on malle able iron water buck. This sweeping tri umph, ill face of the fact that the wares of this company were unknown this far south, speaks volumes in favor of the real merit of the ranges, which so creditably passed through the crucible of critical expert judg ment and cunie out victorious omt all. They have determined to make the "Homo Coin fort" Kuugcs the cooking article of the country, and will take pleasure iu coiivinc- ng the skeptical, if there be such, of the truth and justice of the verdict of the jury giving this coni any ' the highest awards.
