The Charles Parker Co. and Parker Bros. were in the business of manufacturing and manufactured every kind of household goods and industrial implements. I would venture to say that profits from the production of shotguns is not what sustained the company but I, too, can't imagine they would have continued to produce shotguns if it was only a 'break even' proposition on the vast majority of their guns.
