The Hafleigh Company, prominently displayed on the building, was a significant manufacturer of glue, gelatin, and related products, primarily operating out of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

The image, likely dating from the 1900s to the 1930s, captures an industrial worker next to machinery, emblematic of the intensive labor and specialized equipment required in such manufacturing plants.
