Notes
Content: Printed on border: "916" "The cleaning of a great city." "The last stage in the evolution of the dumping-board." "A steel structure with ten elevated storage bins. In the picture two of these bins, of which the gates are opened, are discharging on to a deck scow. Ashes and street sweepings are carried up by an elevator which runs under the entire height of the building, taking its load at hoppers, into which the carts are dumped. This is shown at the lower right-hand corner of the cut. The elevator buckets pass over the bins and descend at the other end of the structure." Includes additional text.
Source note: McClure's magazine. (New York London : [s.n.] 1893-).
