Additional Details:
The building in the foreground on other side of card is the largest in the world devoted exclusively to the manufacture of proprietary medicines. Its nine floors are equipped with the very latest machinery for the manufacture of Rawleigh Quality Products, and it is the center of attraction for visitors and tourists. In its construction 300 tons of steel, 15,000 barrels of cement, about 800 carloads of sand and gravel, 60 carloads of other material, and half a million vitrified brick, were used. This great building, with its 57,000 sq. ft. of floor space, was built in 1914 and is but one of the many factory buildings necessary in producing sufficient Rawleigh household and farm remedies to meet the rapidly increasing demand resulting from repeat orders from satisfied users - a most expressive and substantial endorsement from ten million users
