Also contains a view of Machinery Hall designed by Peabody & Stearns.

Notes
Advertising text printed on verso: Enterprise Bung-Hole Borer or Hollow Auger. The Most Complete Bung-Hole Borer in the Market. This Auger is made of cast steel, and is ground by patented machinery in such a manner as to leave the cutting edge the most prominent. It is nicely hardened, finely tempered, and very durable. Being furnished with a round lip bit, smooth boring is ensured. It bores a complete Round Hole, Regular Taper, and holds it own chips, preventing them from entering the cask. To sharpen the Stock or Reamer, file the inside of slot only. Prices: No. 1, Bores from 3/8 to 1 1/2 inches, $1.50. " 2, " " 1 1/8 to 2 " 2.00. " 3, " " 1 1/2 to 3 " 3.00.
Printed on verso: For Sale by the Hardware Trade. Send for Catalogue. The Enterprise M'f'g Co. of Pa., Third & Dauphin Sts., Philadelphia, U.S.A.
