This glass negative is titled with the name Ben Reitman, a Chicago physician known for his work with the city's transient and hobo population. He ran a free clinic for itinerant men and was a close companion of anarchist writer Emma Goldman, a relationship that drew public attention during the labor unrest and wartime tensions of the 1910s. The Bain News Service, a New York agency that supplied newspapers with photographs, made the negative. The name comes from unverified caption data, so the identification should be read with some caution.
