I have one I'd like to add that I came across working on ancestry. It's an add for the foundry of my 3rd Great Grandfather Edge Taylor Cope. It was in business through much of the 1800's located along the Brandywine River in Chester County Pa. It was known for making farm tools and later wheels for the Pennsylvania RR. There is a painting of the foundry and the adjacent "Cope's Bridge" by George Cope located at the Brandywine River Museum of Art. The bridge built in 1807 still stands and carries traffic today.
