Found at a central Texas antique store. The original photo is badly scratched. I managed to clone out most of the damage except for some fine lines around his nose and upper lip.
The back of the photo has the name "Kaarlo Hammar" written on it. The front has the name "Kaarlo Terhi" and in English "brother of Sigrid" or "Sigurd".

I love antique photographs. In addition to sharing old photos of my family, I am also going through my collection of "antique store people". They've been sitting in a storage tub in my back room much too long and maybe some of their families will be able to find them here.
If I'm able to identify the people in the photo, I upload it not only to AncientFaces, but also to Ancestry, FamilySearch, and Find-A-Grave. If the person in the picture is a military veteran, the photo also goes on Fold3. I figure that the more places I upload these pictures, the greater the chance that a relative will be able to find them.
