Glimpse of Capt A W Money and NJ quail hunting

[Cold Spring]

Re reading my old American Fields and I found this note on the good Captain and NJ quail hunting. I love this long forgotten stuff; from the December 26, 1903 issue.

For those unacquainted with the good Capt.

Capt. A.W. Money and his family arrived in the U.S. in 1890. He and his wife, Emily, had four daughters and two sons, Noel Ernest Money and Harold Bloomfield Money. Capt. Albert set up and operated The American ‘E.C.’ and Schultze Powder Company, with works in Oakland, Bergen County, New Jersey, and offices at 318 Broadway in New York City.
On 7 October 1891, Lieutenant Noel E. Money (Princess Victoria’s Royal Irish Fusiliers), resigned his Commission and subsequently joined his Father’s business in the U.S.
Harold was eventually a Professional Representative for Winchester, using a 1897 and mostly competing in the south. He was part of the Winchester Touring Squad in 1907

Capt. Money was 2nd in the 1894 GAH and used his Greener in the 1897, 1898 & 1899 GAHs; a Parker in 1900 & 1901. He purchased a CH Parker SN 87238 in 1897 which he returned for his discount purchase price of $75 in Dec. 1898. He also used a L.C. Smith in 1897 and purchased a Smith A2 in 1901. He later had two Parker pigeon guns stolen:

"Captain Money, of the "E. C." and "Schultze" Powder Company, New York, is mourning the loss of his Parker pigeon gun, which was stolen February 15 (1902) at Paterson, N. J. The gun was taken from the case and shells substituted, giving it the required weight, so he did not discover his loss until some hours later. This is the second Parker gun Captain Money has lost in this manner."

This c. 1914 picture was unlabeled, but I believe it is Capt. Money with one of his Parkers

Captain Money had returned to England by 1912, probably earlier and lived out his years there. Harold left the U.S. by late 1910 and by May 1912 was managing a rubber plantation in Ceylon. Noel E. Money returned to England at the end of the Boer War. He married Maud Wood and they had a daughter Mary and a son Gordon. He was the land agent for his father-in-law's estates through 1912. In 1913 they moved to Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada, where he built the Qualicum Beach Hotel and golf course.

Both Noel and Harold answered the call of King and Country for The Great War. Harold served with the Loyal North Lancashire Regiment and advanced to the rank of Captain. Noel served in North Africa and Palestine with the 159th Infantry Brigade, 53rd Welsh Division. He was a Major when they were in Libya and a Colonel by the time they were in Egypt. By the time they advanced into Palestine with General Allenby, Noel was a Brigadier General commanding the 159th. After the Great War, Noel returned to his family at Qualicum Beach.

Thanks Frank.

DuPont purchased Laflin & Rand in 1902, and The American "E.C." and "Schultze" Powder Co. in 1903. In 1904, “New E.C. (Improved) No. 3” and “New Schultze” were listed as Laflin & Rand products.
In the later part of 1906, Sporting Life carried advertisements for “New E.C. (Improved)”, “New Schultze” bulk powders, and “Infallible Smokeless” dense powder as products of E.I. du Pont de Nemours Powder Company.

Thanks Dave. We don't see Walsrode mentioned often.

Wolffe & Co. in Walsrode, Prussia had a London agent, George Beutner, in 1892 then established The Walsrode Smokeless & Waterproof Gun Powder Co. in 1894. Walsrode Gray 33 grain = 3 Dram; Green 30 gr. = 3 Dram.

In 1895, agents included Von Lengerke & Detmold, N.Y., Von Lengerke & Antoine, Chicago, M.F. Kennedy & Bros., St. Paul, and Clabrough, Golcher & Co.
In 1903, Schoverling, Daly & Gales advertised as the “Sole U.S. Agents”.

In 1895, President Grover Cleveland order 1,800 ‘ducking’ shotshells from William Wagner, Washington D.C. and specified they be loaded with Walsrode
