The top has a vignette view of the original factory on Willow Avenue from Fifteenth to Sixteenth Streets, street address of 1515 Willow is not stated on letterhead. (The company moved into these buildings in 1938; the larger building on the left was expanded in the early 1940s by new construction on the Willow Avenue side in a modern style.)
