On his Naturalization in 1904, he lived at 200 Henry Street in New York.
This is probably Yussel Flum, although he gives his birth at 1866. He is with his daughter Jenny, born in Aug 1889. Other evidence shows that she was born in 1891. Perhaps he wanted to pass her as older in 1907; She would have been only 16 if she had been born in 1891. This way she would be 18, had Joseph given his birth as 1868, he would have been only 21 when she was born, and he
