Edwin L. Hedderly was the editor of
Western Field magazine, published in California. He wrote extensively about his smallbore, long barrel, Parkers. He got 32-inch barrel DHE-Grades in 20- and 28-gauge in 1911, then upgraded to 32-inch barrel A1-Specials in 16- and 20-gauge in 1912, paid for by advertising in the magazine. He ordered his guns with No Safety. His 16-gauge was pictured in Baer's books and was on the cover of the September 1966, Guns & Ammo --

Later he was on the California Game Commission, which may well have continued his influence on the movers and shakers in the clubs.
