George Fisher Baker Jr. (1878–1937). Wife was Edith Brevoort Kane

Here is something about his father: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Fisher_Baker any relation to "Baker Scholars" at Harvard Business School?

Cynthia Wenslow and Harry Angstrom; Thanks for the additional information on Mr. Baker, Jr. We will add his full name and life dates to the record when we update.

An interesting photographic juxtaposition of a megamillionaire and a peanut vendor.

Entrepreneurship is what made America great. Good for the pushcart man!

I'm guessing that's a soda fountain, in the original sense, in the background.

What are these guys selling? Sausages?

Melinda Young Stuart - ha ha i was thinking sweet potatoes. ;)

Sweet potatoes/yams would be my guess. Now as for the fellow who's taken-off his hat... would he be an early photobomber?-)

In January of 1912, a fire spread through the dumbwaiter elevator system of the Equitable Building in Brooklyn: www.bklyn-genealogy-info.com/Newspaper/Disasters/1912.Equ...

Thank you for helping us to more precisely date this image. We'll add the information to our source catalog.

The building was in Manhattan. The ire was January 9, 1912 and reported in the newspapers the following day. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equitable_Life_Building_(New_York_City)
