Retired at last:
Thanks for the comment. After flipping the digital image to make it easier to read, I'd say the first date is either 10/14/14 or 10/16/14 and the second date is 12/6/30. We've speculated that some of the negatives have been marked with later dates indicating they were published again on those dates.

Looks like the same person as this Raymond Benjamin in an article from 1924

There is a skimpy Wikipedia entry:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raymond_Benjamin
NYT of July 14, 1914
query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F20A1 1FB385A12738...
says that he was elected Grand Exalted Ruler of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks.

The San Francisco call., March 10, 1912, Page 62, Image 62
has a 1912 picture of him, which could well be the same guy.
