Advertisement showing the four-story storefront adorned with signage and displays on the 300 block of North 4th Street.

Box labels include "Ysla de Cuba," "Assorted Cordials," "Glorias," "Habano." A clerk confers with a patron within the entrance as a laborer enters the cellar to continue to retrieve barrels of "Madeira No.1" and "Port," which line the sidewalk. In the street, a drayman departs with his delivery of a cask of "J. Hennesy [sic] & Co. Cognac."
