The Christchurcli " Press " of November 10, 1878, says :— "The great impetus which has lately been given to the manufacture of stovos and ranges was amply proved by the very largo number of exhibits in this claBS. No less than eighteen ranges were entered for tho prizo, of all kinds, shapes, and make. The fudges awarded the first prizo to Messrs Scott Brothers, and second to Mr Wattera ; but there can be little doubt that their verdict Bhould have been reversed, as Mr Watters' range, for the price, was by far the most complete and best on the ground. The firat prize one was priced at £20, without a boiler, but with double oven, and £30 with a boiler. Mr Watters', on the contrary, with boiler and good roomy oven, was priced at £11 10s. Thiß also had a very good contrivance attached to it, in the shape of a moveable iron fire back, and by means of two handles tho fire, when required to be brought forward could be done so." 8795 ATKINSON'S ENERGETIO FOUNDRY, TUAM STREET.
