Summary[edit]

Description
English: Advertisement showing the four-story, tower-shaped clothing store adorned with signage at 182, i.e., 518 Market Street. Statuary and a flag reading "Tower Hall" embellish the building and signs advertise "Quick Sales" and "Small Profits." A store clerk consults with a patron near one of the four open entryways to the establishment. Clothing adorns the entries and hangs from racks inside the store in which another clerk assists a patron at a display table. Coats and other piles of clothing are visible in the upper floor windows. In front of the store, several crates line the sidewalk. A laborer nails one shut as other workers load a horse-drawn dray. A few of the crates are marked with addresses, including Independence, Mo., Nashville, Tenn., and Augusta, Ga. The three-and-one-half story "Clothing Ware Rooms" stands adjacent to the "Tower Hall." Signage advertising "Shirts, Collars, Bosoms, Cravats, Wrappers, Hosiery, Handkerchiefs &c. &c. &c. and [Edward] "Allman Hatter" and [Robert] "Winchester Grocer" adorns the facade. Patrons exit and enter the doorways of the building in front of which a laborer loads a "Bennet & Co. Tower Hall Clothing Bazaar" wagon. On the sidewalk, near the delivery worker, a woman strolls near two boys in conversation and a man carrying a large package. Partial views of the outerlying, neighboring businesses complete the scene. Signage reading "...T Toland," (i.e., George Toland, accountant, 180 Market), and "Robert..." adorn the buildings. Also contains a trompe l'oeil wood frame border around the image.
