Description Advertisement in Spanish, English, and French for the Bush Hill Iron Works originally established by Oliver Evans in 1809 and operated by Neall, Matthews & Moore 1846-1854. Shows the bustling complex of several buildings and grounds littered with cylinders, tubes, castings and a pile of coal around which several laborers toil. The workers transport machinery by horse-drawn cart, hoist cylinders onto a dray, hammer castings, push handcarts, fuel the furnace, and labor in the workshops. Also shows a man entering the "Neall & Matthews" office. Image surrounded by decorative border. Contains several lines of advertising text below the titles promoting the products of the works, including cylinders, steam engines, boilers, mills, pans, hammers, anvils, and castings; the efficiency of two Air-Furnaces to fill roll orders "without delay"; and "all orders for machinery or castings thankfully received and promptly executed." James Neal retired in 1854 and Matthew and Moore carried on the business until 1870 when James Moore assumed sole proprietorship. The iron works constructed machinery for some of the leading rolling mills of the United States during the 19th century.
