The only identifying detail for this picture is the name J.G. Soltis, taken from the Bain News Service's own notes on the negative or caption card, and the library flags that attribution as unverified. The Bain News Service was a photo agency that George Grantham Bain built in New York in the early 1900s, supplying images of news events, public figures and everyday scenes to newspapers. Its glass negatives, most about 5 by 7 inches or smaller, number in the tens of thousands and offer a broad view of American life in the first decades of the twentieth century. Treat the name as a lead for further research rather than a confirmed identity.
