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:

Reward offered for Parker stolen July 20, 1901; SN 90,635, 8#, 30” barrels.

"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
