The Merkle has a reverse image of the "Factory No. XXXX..."
Looks like Factory No. 30?
Looking at the rest of the card I think I can see the Piedmont lines starting on the right side above the NY on his sleeve and running up toward his collar. Also looks like part of the Piedmont lettering on his shoulder.
