The record gives the subject only as "Chalmers, Phils," a name the Bain News Service recorded on its negative or caption card. The library has not verified that label, and no date is listed, so the identity and occasion of the sitter remain uncertain. The Bain News Service was a New York picture agency that sold press photographs from the early 1900s into the 1910s, and its glass negatives of this small size were typical of the fast news work it supplied to newspapers and magazines. Viewers should treat the name as a starting point for research rather than a confirmed fact.
