Description Advertisement showing the busy forge shop of "Henry Beagle's Hame Manufactory" on the 400 block of Magnolia Street. Within the shop, laborers enter the doorway, toil at windows, and hoist a bundle of hames (i.e., part of the harness that fits around the neck of a draught horse through which the reigns pass). Outside of the building, other workers, including a boy, gather bundles of hames, transport the pieces by hand-drawn cart, and load them on to the back of a horse-drawn dray as a couple passes on the sidewalk. Several working smoke stacks adorn the roof of the shop and a couple passes on the sidewalk. In the street, a horse-drawn freight car travels. A lad leads the horses as the freight driver steers from within the front of the car. A small boy sits next to the driver who stands. Also shows neighboring buildings. Contains a trompe l'oeil frame as a border. Beagle began operating from Magnolia Street in 1839.
