He is photographed from above the waist. Monroe Butler was a vice-president of the California Reserve Company, which collapsed. He and four other officers, along with three sales managers were charged with criminal conspiracy, violation of the Corporate Securities Act, forgery, and grand theft. Charges against Butler were eventually dropped due to insufficient evidence. Monroe Butler was the state manager for the Federal Home Loan Bank. Possibly related to several articles in the Los Angeles Times in the mid-1930s dealing with the alleged crimes by officers of the California Reserve Company. Text on negative sleeve: Butler, Monroe. Bldg. & Home League. 1933. Handwritten on negative: Monroe Buttler [i.e. Butler]
