Date of publication supplied by Wainwright., Advertisement depicting the large factory's several industrial buildings, sheds, and fenced yard near a busy street and sidewalk. Workers attend to a maze of drying lines with hanging leather pieces; delivery carts traverse the yard and depart through the gate under the sign "McNeely & Co."; and a laborer uses a horse-drawn cart to collect coal from a mound beside the main building. Pedestrians, including a woman and boy, stroll and converse on the sidewalk. In the street, an African American couple push a filled handcart and a crowded horse-drawn omnibus from the "Frankford Road - Fourth Street" line passes by. The McNeely family operated a leather manufactory in Philadelphia from 1830 until the early 20th century.
