So this is a flipped image, negative in mirror? Look at top right with Film Type stock print.
Donna (LOC PP) said:
Thanks for your question about the image. The film info and notch code were reviewed and confirmed that the image is oriented correctly. During the process of checking, the TIFF image revealed another detail -- the brand name of the coveralls can be seen on the metal buckle. The embossed brand name is very small in the default display, but identifiable with magnification.

Again, not Proviso and therefore in Chicago rather than Melrose Park.
The Library of Congress said:
iris.schimandle: Thanks for the correction! We've updated all 19 affected records in our own catalog ( http://www.loc.gov/rr/print/catalog.html), and the information will be updated in Flickr soon, too. (4/25/08)
