The text provides a biography ending in 1936, when the subject became a self-employed merchant. Born in 1913, he appears to be in his mid-20s in the photo, which strongly suggests a date shortly after 1936. The halftone texture indicates this is a reproduction from a book or directory published in the late 1930s.
