Description Advertisement showing the bakery house at 90 S. Wharves, i.e., 412 S. Delaware Avenue. Signage adorning the building advertises "Crackers, Sugar & Soda Biscuit, Pilot, Ship & Navy Bread Wholesale & Retail." Employees and patrons enter and exit the building past stacks of barrels and are visible through the open entranceways and receiving windows, climbing stairs, discussing business, and inspecting barrels. In front of the business, under a large store banner, a patron and clerk converse and employees load a horse-drawn cart with provisions. At the side of the building, a driver with a horse-drawn cart is stopped in the alley to receive a barrel to be hoisted down from the third floor of the bakery. Also shows a sailor standing at the opposite street corner, and in the distance, part of a docked square-rigged ship.
