Autograph request

Postcard sent by Bray to Ernest T. Hooley on 11th May 1904 asking for his autograph.

Ernest Terah Hooley (5 February 1859 - 11 February 1947) was an English financial fraudster. He achieved wealth and fame by buying promising companies and reselling them to the public at inflated prices, but a prosecution exposed his deceitful practices. He was made bankrupt four times and served two prison terms.

Hooley was the developer of the world's first industrial park, Trafford Park on the outskirts of Manchester.
