Van L. Wolf, Light Wagon Builder, Carriage Builder
The 1900 Semi-Centennial pamphlet, page 83, locates this business at State and Jackson streets. A photocopy of an undated advertisement in this photo folder locates it at "Cor. State & Plum Sts., Media." The 1882 map of Media shows a carriage factory at State and Plum, and both 1882 and 1892 show livery businesses at State and Jackson, though not named Wolf. Verdict: location of this photo is uncertain. Copy of original photo; source not noted
