Advertisement depicting an exterior view of the Rogers' industrial complex, the "model coach factory of America," at the busy corner of Sixth and Master streets. A white man clerk displays a carriage to a man and woman couple as laborers work on the upper stories. Drays, surreys, "Rogers" delivery carts, and a young African American man with a horse traverse the intersection. A white man passenger disembarks from a Sixth Street line horse-drawn omnibus near the factory entrance. A second omnibus rests at the corner, the white man driver unhappily receiving a citation from a white man constable; his young, white boy passenger watching with a look of awe sitting beside his mother.
