"Liberty Steam Fire Engine & Hose Co., No. 3, 517 N. 9th St. (Liberty Square), Lebanon, Pa."
Printed on the back of this postcard: "24222 - Pub. by Harpel's Art Store, Lebanon, Pa. Officers. President - James E. Fisher. Vice-Pres. - Frank W. McAdams. Secretary - Jno. H. Kochenderfer. Treas. - Jno. Werner. Chief Eng. - James Wagner. Driver - Jacob Copenhaver. Hose Chief - E. G. Meily. Organized July 1872. Equipment - 1st size Clapp & Jones Engine & Hose Wagon."
According to an article that appeared in the Lebanon Daily News on April 22, 1970, p. 19, this was one of a series of fire company postcards published by Harpel's Art Store for the thirty-third annual convention of the Pennsylvania State Firemen's Association, which was held in Lebanon on September 10 to 14, 1912.
Similar postcard views of other firemen posing with horse-drawn equipment in front of their stations were common in the early twentieth century. For additional examples, see Central Fire Station, Easton, Pa., Creston Fire Department Headquarters, Creston, Iowa, and Hook and Ladder No. 1, Providence, Rhode Island (below).

The 1893 edition of Boyd's Directory of Harrisburg and Steelton, p. 29, lists a "Hope Steam Fire Engine Co., No 2," in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, with an address on "2d [Street] bet[ween] State and North," and I believe that this is the same "Hope Fire Co. No. 2" described here, with a fire house located at "Second and North Streets." The fire company itself no longer exists, but the "Hope Station" building was -- for a time -- the Fire House Restaurant.
"Bazaar and fair, Hope Fire Co. No. 2, March 18 to 25 inclusive. We cordially invite you, your family, and friends to attend this bazaar and fair, which will be held in the parlor of fire house, Second and North Streets. Something doing every minute. Donations of cakes and candies will be appreciated. Admission free, everyone welcome. Raysor, printer."
