Right after the war, Confederate money was plentiful and worthless with only a nominal value as a souvenir. Different merchants often put advertisements on the blank backs of Confederate notes. Most of these notes with advertisements have been lost over the years. John Howard Childrey (1842-1898) was a Richmond druggist in the years after the war who also dabbled in coins, currency, and stamps. His post-war printed advertisements are found on several different Confederate period obsolete notes. He entered service as a private in Co B 1st Va Inf  4/21/1861 and was discharged for disability 1/28/1864. He is buried in Richmond in the Hollywood Cemetery in Section C Lot 55.
