Description Advertisement showing the four-story, three-bay building tenanted by the china, glass and queensware business of Wm. P. Hacker at 60 (ie. 108) North Second Street. Pitchers, vases and bowls in various shapes and sizes are stacked on shelves lining the walls of the shop interior, and are also displayed in the storefront window, which is flanked by two wide doors on the ground level. In the left doorway, a man lifts a barrel using a pulley system running all the way to the top floor of the building. Another worker loads hampers onto a horse-drawn dray. Barrels and hampers line the sidewalk and cobblestone street in front of the shop. Signboards marked "china, glass" and "queens-ware" cover the front facade of Hacker's shop. Also shows bits of the interior of adjacent properties, including the stairway in 58 North Second Street (left) and casks (presumably of wine) in 62 North Second Street (right). A man and woman stroll by arm in arm on the sidewalk. William P. Hacker moved his business to several nearby properties on North Second Street, starting out at 64, moving to 62 and then inhabiting 60 in 1851. Hacker was president of the Philadelphia Common Council from 1855 to 1856.
