This picture is tied to the corner of 23rd Street and Broadway in Manhattan, where the Flatiron Building rises at the intersection. The record gives the title "Recruiting address," but notes that the title comes from unverified information on the negatives or caption cards, and no date is recorded. Bain News Service, the agency whose glass negatives make up this collection, sold news photographs to newspapers and magazines in New York in the early twentieth century. Recruiting speeches at busy street corners were common during the period of American military mobilization, so the scene likely reflects the public appeals of that era, though the record does not confirm it.
