This interesting picture was taken just after the great fire on November 1, 1903. It shows the ruins of the entire upper and lower portion of the Bowery. The film ends by bringing into view a large number of men pulling down the dangerous and tottering walls.

In certain sections of New York City large numbers of Jewish and Italian push-cart vendors congregate so closely along the sidewalks that they interfere with traffic.

A merchant is giving a demonstration of his lifelike automatons to a bedazzled customer. Could these "larger than life" clockwork figures look too good to be true?
