Description Advertisement containing two views of the stove works and hollow-ware foundries owned and operated by Charles W. Warnick and Frederick Leibrandt. The upper scene depicts the stove works at Gunners Run (ie. Aramingo Canal) and Franklin Avenue (ie. Girard Avenue). Viewed from the opposite bank of Gunner's Run, the scene shows laborers working with horse-drawn carts and drays on the bank of the canal, in front of a complex of industrial buildings labeled "Foundry" (left) and "Warnick & Leibrandt's Stove Works" (right). In the foreground, four laborers lift a large plank of wood, and men in groups of three move materials across the canal in row boats. Includes a docked sailing vessel (left) and smaller vessels in the canal. The bottom winter scene depicts the stove works looking northeast at the Noble Street Wharf (ie. northeast corner of Beach and Noble Streets) showing horse-drawn traffic in the snow-covered street outside of the company's wide, four-story brick building surmounted by a large cupola and weathervane. Includes drivers pulling horse-drawn sleds (left), speeding horse-drawn sleighs carrying a family of four (right), Warnick & Leibrandt covered wagons (center), and children playing with dogs and sleds on North Beach Street in the foreground. A group of bare masts is visible on the Delaware River behind the company's building. The Noble Street Wharf site later became home to the Philadelphia Sugar House.
