Text Appearing Before Image:
is indebted to the Mann family for two of its prosperingbusiness houses, the Mann Iron & Steel Company, conducted by Mr. AaronMann, and H. Mann & Co., of which Mr. Harry Mann is owner. These two brothers were born in Kovno, Guberne, Russia, Harry onMarch i, 1885, and Aaron on March 5, 1889. They are the sons of Mr. ZelickMann, who was a prosperous merchant of their native city. They came to America in 1905, and Harry, being the elder, at once wentto work peddling junk, while his brother continued to go to school for oneyear and then started in at the same occupation. A few years later, havingsaved a small capital, they went into partnership and opened a junk business.As they were both most able business men and the firm did not need morethan one executive head, they decided to dissolve partnership and operate sepa-rately, which they did in 1917.

Licensing

edit
This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain
This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.
Public domain works must be out of copyright in both the United States and in the source country of the work in order to be hosted on the Commons. If the work is not a U.S. work, the file must have an additional copyright tag indicating the copyright status in the source country.

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.

Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
This image was taken from Flickr's The Commons. The uploading organization may have various reasons for determining that no known copyright restrictions exist, such as:
  1. The copyright is in the public domain because it has expired;
  2. The copyright was injected into the public domain for other reasons, such as failure to adhere to required formalities or conditions;
  3. The institution owns the copyright but is not interested in exercising control; or
  4. The institution has legal rights sufficient to authorize others to use the work without restrictions.
