STOVES AND FANCY IRON CASTINGS. 



Exhibited at the Virginia State Agricultural Fair i 

 By Messrs. Bowers, Snyder <te Carter. 



THESE Gentlemen erected Works, about twi 

 years since, by which they have been exten- 

 sively supplying the. State with articles lor which 

 we have heretolore depended entirely upon northern 

 foundries. 



Their Cooking Stoves have given entire satisfac- 

 tion to all Virginia housewives who have used them. 

 On the door of one of these we notice a representa- 

 tion of a sheaf of wheat, in which the heads and 

 even the distinct grains stand out in beautiful relief. 



They exhibit a specimen of parlor stove especially 

 worlhy of notice. Its style and finish are highly 

 ornamental, its chief merit consists of a door de~ 

 signed to increase the draught of the fire, which is 

 made to revolve vertically upon a pivot. 



These manufacturers, in a modest, unpretending 

 way, are rendering good service to the State, by de- 

 veloping her resources in this branch of domestic 

 industry. E. B. Spence, 



H. M. Smith, 

 James Pae, 

 Committee on Household Implements. 



I have sold principally, for the past two years, 

 the stoves manufactured by Messrs. Bowers, Snyder 

 & Carter, at the Richmond Stove Works, and have 

 found them to give my patrons entire satisfaction, 

 both in their operation and durability.
