Businessman in Hamburg (literally "salesman in Hamburg).
Edit: I am doing a literal translation of the German title beneath his name. While it may not suit our current sensibilities, it is very gender specific for the time. There was no female equivalent. It would be inaccurate to say, “Business person.” (I am saying this because I got a snarky message about using gender specific language.) We simply cannot impose 21st-century ideals on vintage, era-specific messages.
