EDITORS COMMENTS
Meet George J. Meyer: A Man of Many Hats (1916)
In this striking photograph taken in 1916 by the renowned Bain News Service, we are introduced to a man who wore many hats - quite literally! Geo. J. Meyer, postmaster of Buffalo, New York, was not only a respected public servant but also a shrewd businessman and politician.
As chairman of the Erie County Democratic Committee that same year, Meyer's influence extended far beyond his postal duties. His sharp suit and confident demeanor convey a sense of authority and gravitas, reflecting his impressive career in politics and brewing (he owned several breweries in Buffalo).
This black-and-white portrait is more than just a snapshot - it captures the essence of an era when men like Meyer were pillars of their communities, shaping local politics and commerce. The photograph's vintage charm also highlights the importance of communication and information dissemination during this period.
As part of Heritage Images' extensive collection, this print offers a unique glimpse into America's past, showcasing individuals who played significant roles in shaping the country's history.
