Description
Advertisement with heavy street activity showing the manufactory at 1601 North Sixth Street for the firm founded by Benjamin J. and J. Lewis Crew and Stephen R. Rogers in 1860. Shop laborers load barrels onto a horse-drawn cart parked in front of the laboratory and unstack and shift crates and barrels that line the sidewalks. A company horse-drawn wagon passes in the street. Other traffic includes horse-drawn drays, a "Frankford & Southwark" street car, and elegantly-attired women and men crossing from and to street corners. Also shows a company wagon entering a bay and a dray entering a storage yard at the factory. Surrounding buildings, including probably the warehouse at the lumber yard of Jacob and George A. Binder (6th & Oxford), are visible in the background.
