Description Advertisement for the twin storefronts for the "Joseph Feinour & Son Tin, Copper Brass & Iron Ware Manufactory Stove Store" and "Tin, Copper Brass & Iron Ware-House" at 213-215, i.e., 345-347 South Front Street. A patron and clerk enter through the back entrance of the stove store that is crowded with stoves visible through the three open entryways. Potts and kettles lay on the displayed appliances as well as line rows of shelves adorning the wall opposite a stairwell. In front of the store, various types and patterns of stoves, including a "Bath Heater" and one on which a laborer brushes polish, crowd an extended platform and the sidewalk and continue over into in front of the adjoining warehouse. At the warehouse entrance, a clerk assists a woman patron who inspects cauldrons displayed on the end of the platform. Through the open entrance, a clerk is visible helping another woman patron at the counter. Metal cookware including pots, pans, and kettles line the shelves behind them and the display windows of the building. Several of the displayed stoves have their feed doors open. The Feinours operated from the location circa 1828 - circa 1860.
