This view of Troy, looking to the north, beside the Hudson river, shows a tug boat with two canal boats in tow, headed down river. A close look at the advertising on the buildings shows a wide variety goods; Kimmey's Candy and Ice Cream, Barnum Bros. Co 179 River St. Wood Pulleys, Oils and Lubricants and Boat Supplies, Fogarty's Furniture & Carpets, Stewart Stoves, American Seal Paints, "Go by the Book on Beecham's Pills", Max Grimm Coal and Sewer Pipe with what appears to be hundreds of sewer pipe sections stacked at the river's edge, and good old Quaker Oats.
