I see on the bottom of the print that it is for Wapwallopen Mills. I did a quick search and found some interesting information. Some background on the mill....
http://www.pagenweb.org/~luzerne/dpmills.htm http://www.facstaff.bucknell.edu/ric...en/History.htm Kind of cool how they built the buildings with a wall made to blow out to save the rest of the building. here are a few pictures of the mill intermixed with others.... http://digital.hagley.org/cdm/search...nd/cosuppress/ And how it is used today.... watch the video! http://demshitz.com/wapwallopen-creek/ If you have the time, look at all their advertising for a match, it is found here: http://digital.hagley.org/cdm/search...s/order/nosort |

DuPont's original mills (Hagley Mills) on the Brandywine River in Wilmington, Del. has the same design.

DuPont was so concerned about, and so good at, safety, that they actually opened up a Safety Department that sold safety consulting services to other companies

i worked for DuPont long ago- the safety concerns go back to the founding- the family lived next to the black powder plant to show they cared about the safety of the workers
as an employee you were asked to report not only accidents- but near misses- at work or home
