Council Votes to Erect Municipal Building
WRECKING OF PRESENT TOWN HALL CLOSES CHAPTER IN LOCAL HISTORY
Plans for a municipal building to provide engine house and jail on the first floor with a council chamber above were accepted by the Council at their last meeting and the building committee authorized to commence work immediately. The building is to be placed at the back of the lot where the old town hall stood, leaving space opposite the park for a more pretentious building to be put up later on. Plans offered by Charles B. War terhouse for a complete city hall, em bodying all the features of an uptodate municipal building, were rejected as being too ambitious an undertaking at the present time.
With the completion of the wrecko ing of the present town hall, which is already well under way, and the final cleaning up of the town proper. ty, the last of the land marks will be gone and all the old buildings will be cleared away.
Most prominent among these was the old hall, built in the early eighties and shown on the first plat of Mait. land filed in 1885. George Horatio Packwood, who built this hall and filed the plat, on leaving Maitland bought forty acres of land where the Tampa Bay Hotel now stands, includ ing a quarter mile along the Bay Shore, for around 1,200.00. This he platted, naming the streets the same as those in the Maitland plat, and he now occupies a mansion on the Bay Shore Boulevard on a sixty foot lot for which he refused 200,000.00 last winter. This hall was built with two stores on the first floor, one of which was used as a railroad station when the railroad first went through, a hall for a skating rink, with a stage on the second floor, and rooms above for the first Masonic Lodge in this section of Florida, where the leading citizens of Orlando, Sanford and Lake County came together. The building was later bought by S. B. Hill and the lower floor fitted up for a packing house for the Florida Citrus Exchange,
of which Mr. Hill was the first president. After the Exchange left it was used as a private packing house and the hall upstairs was used for com: munity entertainments until the pres: ent school house provided a more at: tractive gathering place. Next to the old hall stood the Adams packing house, built by Frank Adams and used by him as a pack. ing house and fertilizer warehouse, and further on was a building, used for similar purposes, which originally stood on the north side of Horatio Avenue, where it formed a ware. house between the railroad and the store building of E. Turner, recently
moved away and used for the past
few years as a rooming house for the American Fruit Growers. The store, occupied until its demoli• tion last fall, by J. A. Brown, was used first as a store and later housed the first library in Maitland, established by Mrs. L. F. Dommerich. At one time it was owned by Mr. S. Mills Ely, brother of Miss Mary C. Ely, who remodeled it and rented it out for small business enterprises, after which it was bought by S. B. Hill, who occupied it as a store until he sold out to J. A. Brown. The passing of this group of build. ings, built when Maitland was young and which have survived beyond the period of their usefulness marks the beginning of a new era of growth and prosperity in Maitland.
TOWN PARK BEING IMPROVED
The town authorities have sown a cover crop through the parks around Lily Lake, north of the Library and the central park. This will give a green covering through the summer and will be turmed under later, providing necessary humus for the soil. A number of trees and shrubs have been planted in the central park and further improvements will be made as soon as water is available.
Harry R. Brewer left Thursday for Guilford, Conn., after spending the winter here at the home of Forrest B. Stone.
ACTION ON BUILDING CODE IS
At the last meeting of the Council, F. T. Marsh was appointed building, plumbing and electrical inspector. This action was taken on the recome mendation of the Zoning Commission. Mr. Marsh, who has held similar po sitions in the north, has been of great assistance in drawing up the building code recently adopted by the Council. This code as well as the plumbing code is substantially the same as the Orlando code, except for a few modifications due to local conditions. At the last meeting it was also voted to adopt rules and regulations governo ing electrical wiring and construction which have been adopted by Winter Park, with the exception that the license fee shall be 25.00 and the bond 1,000.00. Building and plumbing fees have also been established and anyone intending to build should in form himself on these regulations and make application to the building in spector in sufficient time to prevent delay in starting his building.
GREENWOOD GARDEN NOTES
Mr. and Mrs. L. L. Coudert and family moved last week into their new home in Greenwood Gardens.
Mr. A. B. Rowland, who has been associated with the Maitland Realty Company as accountant for the past three months, has bought the old Parker house in Greenwood Gardens. The house has been moved onto a lot on Maitland Avenue, and is benig remodeled. Mr. Rowland hopes to have the work completed so that he will be able to occupy the house when Mrs. Rowland and the children reach Maitland the latter part of this month. Mrs. Rowland will remain in West. field, New Jersey until the close of school.
Mr. Calvin Hill has bought a lot in Greenwood Gardens on the corner of Maitland Avenue and Marion Way, where he expects to build a residence in the near future.

AGE AND BEAUTY
With the removal of the old buildings around the station we bid fare. well to the village period of our his tory and enter into a new phase, typified by the paving of streets, the installation of water, the beautification of parks, and, we trust, the develop. ment of an individual and suitable style of architecture. These old buildings, well constructed, carefully built, in their day objects of pride to builders and owners alike, have been for many years blots on the beauty of our town. This was so not only because they have been allowed to fall into dilapidation, but because they were not originally suit. ed to their surroundings. In some countries buildings increase in beauty as they blend into their settings and become a part of the beauty of the scenery. But in Florida there has been until lately no typical style of architecture. In the old days builders brought from New England and other parts of the north the style of architecture to which they were accustomed but which was entirely unsuited to Southern conditions of cli. mate and scenery.
Now, however, we need not make these mistakes. A style of architecture is growing up, beautiful in itself, substantial and breathing the spirit of the Southland. Can we not, as we
THE MAITLAND NEWS
rebuild our town, strive to have all the construction, whether of residence, business or public buildings harmoni. ous, fitting and beautiful, so that our town may conform in architecture to the high standard set by its founders in laying out shady streets and conserving and emphasizing the beauties already here, and thus become the true beauty spot of central Florida?

AN INTRODUCTION
This is an introduction to a series of articles which, it is hoped, will prove of general interest to the read. ers of this newspaper.
I have thought that, to those who are not acquainted with the business and conduct of banks and banking, a series of short talks with this subject will be welcomed as a means of bring: ing home to you the widespread serve ice that almost any bank offers to its depositors, and give you some idea of the tremendous scope and widespread activities of present day banking.
We are all more or less familiar with the general idea of a bank, or that side of it with which we come in contact when we make a deposit, cash a check, or negotiate a loan. How n know of the many interesting , nga at go on behind the cage? When a check on sonic other bank is deposited where does it go, what does it go through, and how d es it get to its destination? Where loes the bank get the new money they all - try to have, whence comes all the silver and gold, where does all the dirty and mutilated currency go, and what becomes of it
All of the above and many other interesting things will be explained in this column, and it is hoped that the explanation of the varied services and internal workings of a bank will bring this bank and its customers to a closer understanding, and foster a mutual friendship, understanding and trust, all of which are necessary in order that this institution can grow and develop with the Town of Maitland, and render to the town the service to which it is entitled, but which cannot be given without the full cooperation of all.

Title
Sanford Collection
Description
The present-day Sanford area was originally inhabited by the Mayaca/Joroco natives by the time Europeans arrived. The tribe was decimated by war and disease by 1760 and was replaced by the Seminole Indians. In 1821, the United States acquired Florida from Spain and Americans began to settled in the state.
Camp Monroe was established in the mid-1830s to defend the area against Seminoles during the Seminole Wars. In 1836, the United States Army built a road (present-day Mellonville Avenue) to a location called "Camp Monroe," during the Second Seminole War. Following an attack on February 8, 1837, the camp was renamed "Fort Mellon," in honor of the battle's only American casualty, Captain Charles Mellon.
The town of Mellonville was founded nearby in 1842 by Daniel Stewart. When Florida became a state three years later, Mellonville became the county seat for Orange County, which was originally a portion of Mosquito County. Citrus was the first cash crop in the area and the first fruit packing plant was constructed in 1869.
In 1870, a lawyer from Connecticut by the name of Henry Shelton Sanford (1832-1891) purchased 12,548 acres of open land west of Mellonville. His vision was to make this new land a major port city, both railway and by water. Sitting on Lake Monroe, and the head of the St. Johns River, the City of Sanford earned the nickname of “The Gate City of South Florida.” Sanford became not only a transportation hub, but a leading citrus industry in Florida, and eventually globally.
The Great Fire of 1887 devastated the city, which also suffered from a statewide epidemic of yellow fever the following year. The citrus industry flourished until the Great Freezes of 1894 and 1895, causing planters to begin growing celery in 1896 as an alternative. Celery replaced citrus as the city's cash crop and Sanford was nicknamed "Celery City." In 1913, Sanford became the county seat of Seminole County, once part of Orange County. Agriculture dominated the region until Walt Disney World opened in October of 1971, effectively shifting the Central Florida economy towards tourism and residential development.

Description
A newspaper advertisement for Chase & Company, the largest and oldest distribution agency in Florida and one of the first vendors to lease a stall at the first Sanford State Farmers' Market when it opened in 1934. The article states that the company conducts business in most shipping districts in Florida and ships to markets across the United States and Canada. Chase & Co.'s main office was located in Jacksonville at the time that the article was published in 1910. There were also offices in Cincinnati, Chicago, New York, St. Louis, Minneapolis, and Washington, D.C. In addition to citrus packing and processing, Chase & Company also did business in insurance. <br /><br />Chase & Company was established in 1884 by brothers Sydney Octavius Chase and Joshua Coffin Chase. The company sold insurance and later invested in storage facilities and fertilizer sales. Chase & Company was known mainly for its agricultural interests and maintained a series of citrus groves throughout Central Florida. The company was based out of Sanford and became one of the city's largest employers into the early twentieth century. Randall Chase joined in the family business soon after his brother, Sydney Chase, Jr., did in 1922. Randall became the president of Chase & Company from 1948-1965.

Description
Chase & Company was established by brothers Sydney Octavius Chase and Joshua Coffin Chase in 1884. The company sold insurance and later invested in storage facilities and fertilizer sales. Chase & Company was known mainly for its agricultural interests and maintained a series of citrus groves throughout Central Florida. The company was based out of Sanford and became one of the city's largest employers into the early twentieth century. By 1886, the Chase brothers purchased several citrus groves to expand their business, including Isleworth Grove in Windermere, Florida. Isleworth Grove covered a total of 1,300 acres along the Butler Chain of Lakes. Between 1894 and 1895, Central Florida was hit by several freezes and most of the citrus crop was destroyed. Chase & Company did not grow citrus crops again until 1904 when Joshua came back from an extended stay in California. Between 1894 and 1900, different types of pesticide equipment was created, including equipment driven by steam, machines, and horses.Randall Chase joined in the family business soon after his brother, Sydney Chase, Jr., did in 1922. Randall became the president of Chase & Company from 1948-1965. The Isleworth property stayed in the Chase family until 1984 when Franklin Chase, the son of Sydney Chase, sold the property to famed golfer Arnold Palmer.

May 10 1924
(Dictated May 9th)
Mr. S. O. Chase,
Sanford, Florida.
Dear Syd:
This will acknowledge receipt of yours of May 8th. Note that you expected to spend to spend the grater part of Thursday at Isleworth going over matters with Browne. We very much hope that Browne can not only cut his working force but make economies in wages. As you keep all the books, you are in position to make comparison on what the expenses are now compared with what the expenses were under Lancaster. Of course Browne goes more into details and in all probability his expenses are 50 or 100% greater than they were under Lancaster.
No one can foretell what citrus prices will be the coming season but we do know that the crop is going to be large, and unless the Florida Citrus Exchange works miracles, we haven't any reason to believe that the prices will be a bit better next year than they have been this year. Consequently, if we are going to break even at Isleworth or any other properties, the fruit will have to be produced on a rock bottom basis.
Just as soon as the returns are all in from Crescent, Wiley Avenue, Neamathla[?] and Isleworth, also Nocatee[?], will mail you statements showing how the accounts stand on the Jacksonville books. We will be interested to learn whether any of the groves pay anything in excess of expenses.
Yours very truly,
JCC/s

Chase Correspondence, Box 49, folder 20.84
April 16, 1929
Mr. S. O. Chase,
Sanford, Florida.
Dear Syd:
Yothers tells me that the maps of Orange County were supplied by the Orange County Chamber of commerce. Will arrange to send you one or more copies this P.M. May also be able to secure a blue print copy from the Road Department of Orange County. Will do my best.
Enclosed find copy of a letter to Dr. Wilmon Newll [sic] which is self-explanatory.
Syd tells me that there is a man boarding with his sister at Isleworth who works in the Exchange packing house at Winter Garden. The writer was under the impression that this party lived at Winter Garden and worked at Isleworth. Tried to get you over the telephone to exchange views on the subject and left word to have you call me up.
Somehow it is hardly fair to have the employees at Isleworth living in our house free of rent, to have boarders whether members of the family or not. This matter will have to be handled carefully as we don’t want to bring about enmity, at the same time we don’t want to take any chances. We are in hopes that this man can be excluded from the place so that he will not be running to and fro and perhaps carrying infection.
Very truly yours,
JCC:AF.

Citrus fruit industry--Florida
Chase and Company (Sanford, Fla.)
Description
Chase & Company was established by Joshua Chase and his brother Sydney in 1884. The company sold insurance and later invested in storage facilities and fertilizer sales. Chase & Company was known mainly for its agricultural interests and maintained a series of citrus groves throughout Central Florida. The company was based out of Sanford, Florida, and became one of the city's largest employers into the early twentieth century. By 1886, the Chase brothers purchased several citrus groves to expand their business, including Isleworth Grove in Windermere. Isleworth Grove covered a total of 1,300 acres along the Butler Chain of Lakes.
Between 1894 and 1895, Central Florida was hit by several freezes and most of the citrus crop was destroyed. Chase & Company did not grow citrus crops again until 1904 when Joshua came back from an extended stay in California. Between 1894 and 1900, different types of pesticide equipment was created, including equipment driven by steam, machines, and horses.
Randall Chase joined in the family business soon after his brother, Sydney Chase, Jr., did in 1922. Randall became the president of Chase & Company from 1948-1965. The Isleworth property stayed in the Chase family until 1984 when Franklin Chase, the son of Sydney Chase, sold the property to famed golfer Arnold Palmer.

FLORIDA FRUITS AND VEGETABLES
SANFORD, FLORIDA
May 3, 1924.
Mr. J. C. Chase,
Jacksonville, Fla.
Dear Josh:
I overlooked advising you about a conference I had with Mr. Yothers yesterday afternoon with regard to total shipments the Florida Citrus Exchange has made this season up to date. He seemed to speak in an authoritative was, as if he had gotten his information from one of the Exchange officials. His statement was that up to date the Exchange had shipped only approximately four million boxes of fruit. I doubt if there are two million boxes of fruit left in the state and if the Exchange ships half of this that will make one million or a total of five million boxes for the season of 1923-24. If it is a fact that they ship one-third, or approximately 33 1/3% of the total crop out of the state they should have shipped to date closer to seven million than five million.
We all know that this Lake Wales drive has not resulted in double the Exshange’s prospects for business. My own personal belief is that they will not have 50% of the crop at the time they finish their solicitations. A great many growers whom they are counting on to join the Exchange are ex-Exchange members and they express themselves as not being at all interested to experiment further with the Exchange. I know for a fact where we have been operating houses continually since the Exchange was created their holdings are very light and the recent drive has not resulted in much increase in business, especially when one figures it down to volume computed in boxes. No doubt there are a good many new members, but these new members are mostly small growers and have small tonnage.
I would not quote Yothers statement only so far as quoting his figures, but would not quote his name as he might not wish to be drawn intothis controversy.
I am passing a copy of this letter on to Mr. Skinner as information.
Yours very truly,
S. O. Chase

Title
Chase Collection
Description
Select images, correspondence, and other records from the Chase Collection (MS 14) at Special and Area Studies Collections at the University of Florida in Gainesville, Florida. According to the biographical sketch in the collection's finding aid:
"The story of the Chases in Florida began in 1878 when Sydney Octavius Chase (1860-1941), having read about orange groves in Scribner's Magazine, came to Florida from Philadelphia. His brother, Joshua Coffin Chase (1858-1948), joined him in 1884 and together they formed Chase and Company that year. The Chase brothers came to Florida at the right time for Florida citrus and at the right time for them as investment entrepreneurs. Strong family ties in the North provided them with financial backing for their ventures. Joshua left Florida in 1895 to work in the California citrus industry. He returned to Florida in 1904 and rejoined his brother. Another brother, Randall, remained in Philadelphia and augmented his brothers' finances when convenient. Sydney and Joshua were also important civic leaders who took part in community development, most notably in the City of Sanford. Both were elected to the Sanford city commission. They also supported the development of Rollins College, worked with the Florida Historical Society, and were the benefactors of numerous charities.
Chase and Company began as an insurance company and branched out to storage facilities and fertilizer sales. The latter was the beginning of the company's lucrative agricultural supply division which remained in operation throughout the existence of the company. Although citrus was the primary interest, the company also invested in other agricultural pursuits including celery in central Florida, tung oil production in Jefferson County, and winter vegetables and sugar cane in the Lake Okeechobee muck lands. The company was also involved in the peach business in Georgia and North Carolina. The company was incorporated in 1914, with the Chase brothers owning 75 percent of the stock, and reincorporated in 1948. A second generation of Chases began its involvement in the family operations when Sydney O. Chase, Jr. ( b. 1890) became a citrus buyer in 1922. He was later joined by his brother Randall who served as president of Chase and Company from 1948-1965. Outside the Chase Family, Alfred Foster, W. R. Harney, and William "Billy" Leffler figured prominently as company executives and investors. The company dissolved in 1979 when its principal assets were sold to Sunniland for $5.5 million.
The Chases' interest in citrus began when Sydney came to Florida and became associated with General Henry S. Sanford. The Chases would eventually own General Sanford's experimental farm, Belair, and the Chase family home in Sanford was located there. Over the years, the Chases invested in a number of citrus groves and owned others outright. In 1912, they organized the Chase Investment Company as a holding company for their farms. Initially, the company operated the Isleworth, Nocatee, Belair, and Kelly citrus groves as well as celery farms in Sanford. The company was renamed Chase Groves, Inc. in 1951. From time to time, Chase Investment was involved in real estate in Florida and North Carolina. The latter included Fort Caswell, a former military property that was held for a time and then sold. Unquestionably, the jewel in the Chase crown was the Isleworth grove at Windermere. Isleworth's four hundred lake-tempered acres carried the Chases through many difficult times. It proved to be the principal asset at the company's demise when it was sold to golf legend Arnold Palmer in 1984. Chase Groves dissolved that same year, 100 years after the founding of Chase and Company."

Chase and Company (Sanford, Fla.)
Description
Chase & Company was established by Joshua Chase and his brother Sydney in 1884. The company sold insurance and later invested in storage facilities and fertilizer sales. Chase & Company was known mainly for its agricultural interests and maintained a series of citrus groves throughout Central Florida. The company was based out of Sanford, Florida, and became one of the city's largest employers into the early twentieth century. By 1886, the Chase brothers purchased several citrus groves to expand their business, including Isleworth Grove in Windermere. Isleworth Grove covered a total of 1,300 acres along the Butler Chain of Lakes.
Between 1894 and 1895, Central Florida was hit by several freezes and most of the citrus crop was destroyed. Chase & Company did not grow citrus crops again until 1904 when Joshua came back from an extended stay in California. Between 1894 and 1900, different types of pesticide equipment was created, including equipment driven by steam, machines, and horses.
Randall Chase joined in the family business soon after his brother, Sydney Chase, Jr., did in 1922. Randall became the president of Chase & Company from 1948-1965. The Isleworth property stayed in the Chase family until 1984 when Franklin Chase, the son of Sydney Chase, sold the property to famed golfer Arnold Palmer.

CHASE & COMPANY
GROWERS’ MARKETING AGENTS
PACKERS AND SHIPPERS
FLORIDA FRUITS AND VEGETABLES
SANFORD, FLORIDA
August 26, 1927
Mr. J. C. Chase,
Camden, Maine.
Dear Josh:
I met Commander on the train, coming back from Asheville, and spent an hour or more with him during the evening, discussing various Florida citrus problems. He did most of the talking.
In the first place he stated he was just completing quite an extensive trip amongst the trade, both in the east and the west, including the Canadian markets, and he had found the trade generally very optimistic not only with regard to the outlook for the Florida citrus crop but also with regard to the outlook for other perishable crops which they expected to handle, and were now handling.
His impression was that on the whole they were making money’ that Bartlett Pears, and other deciduous fruits from California, especially in the Chicago district were averaging $1.25 or more this year over last years, and there was a heavier supply. He said that the day he was in Chicago there were some eighty old cars of Pears offered, and if I remember correctly they averaged close to $4.00 a case. He said that last season, when he made about the same trip, all the dealers were pessimistic and there was no reaction in their attitude towards the Florida citrus deal, but he felt that this year things would be very much better.
During the conversation I asked him a direct question as to whether or not he, personal, as well as the Exchange, were in full sympathy with the Clearing House proposition, and whether or not they would come in provided it could be started this fall in a small way, simply with a view of controlling the movement, get our bearings, and next season make such additions and changes that might seem best to insure success of the organization. He replied in a very positive manner that he, personally, was very much in favor of it and he thought the Exchange was also, but supplimented [sic] his remarks with the statement that the directors had not had the matter up before them for any definite action. He had been out of the state for a month or more, and did not know what had taken place during his absence. He said that before he left it was arranged that Mr. Wirt would attend any committee meetings held during his absence. He spoke very highly of Newton, and said he was the logical man to put the deal across, and further stated that he thought everybody had confidence in Newton’s integrity and ability as a diplomat.
I then touched him up on the subject of the Growers & Shippers League. He was very loud in his praise of Robinson and the work done up to date. He stated that he thought so far as the Exchange was concerned they would continue to give it their full support.
I then asked him what he knew of the Growers Sales Agency. He told me they had practically gone out of business; that Edwards was very hard up, and that Stewart and Edwards had indorsed a note of the Growers Sales Agency with the Exchange Bank amounting to $35,000.00. The company was unable to meet the note, and the Exchange Bank had instituted suit against Stewart and Edwards for the amount.
I asked him what he knew about Will Lee entering the perishable game again. His idea is that it is physically impossible for him to ever get back into any business again. The government is on his trail for making up and filing with them improper income tax reports. They have instituted suit for $200,000.00 covering additional tax which they have assessed after investigation covering several years of his business. They have put the Citrus Exchange on notice not to pay out any more money to Lee resulting from the handling of any of his fruit, and have also notified other institutions with whom Lee has been doing business to hold any of his money. He stated that Lee had gotten rid of many of his citrus holdings, but in some way seemed to have control of them. While he did not say so I assumed that disposition of these groves was made with a view of defeating the government in collecting back taxes. I think the government is wise enough, in the event they investigate these sales, to have them set aside, if it is necessary to do so. It appears that Lee has no credit at the banks, or with any business organization in the state, and for that reason he stated that he could not enter the perishable game this year, and possibly never.
He gave me some other information which I will pass on to you when I see you. As our visit was more or less of a confidential nature what I am writing you is to be regarded as confidential. You might relay some of it to Justice, if you think wise, but it should be considered strictly confidential.
Last night was probably the coolest night we have had in Florida this summer. Yestermorning in Jacksonville it was red hot. I never knew it to be so hot.
Yours very truly,
S. O. C

GROWERS’ MARKETING AGENTS
PACKERS AND SHIPPERS
FLORIDA FRUITS AND VEGETABLES
SANFORD, FLORIDA
July 11, 1924
Mr. J. C. Chase,
Jacksonville, Fla.
Dear Josh:
Stockton, of the Hartford Insurance Company, told Leffler today, confidentially, that the Citrus Exchange had taken out a guarantee policy with them for $750,000.00. This policy was to be used as security to a loan of like amount being made by the Growers Loan and Guarantee Company, or whatever the name is, in Tampa, who are financing these various advances to the Citrus Exchange growers.
Stockton told Leffler that he had sat in at a meeting of the Farm Loan Land Banks, who are backing up all co-operative activities, and during the conference he learned that the banks last year had advanced the various co-operative organizations seventy six million dollars, and when the notes from the various organizations fell due they were only able to collect twenty three million dollars, in other words 75% of the loan made these co-operative
associations are frozen, and frozen so hard that I doubt very much whether they are ever going to get more out of the seventy six million than the collections already made.
It strikes me that the government ought to call a halt on this method of financing men that cannot successfully work for themselves. The income taxes are pulled on to make up deficits of this character, and it is not fair that the public at large should support people who have lots of theories, and are not practical in their operations and are never included in the successful or efficient class.
I am sending a copy of this letter to Mr. Skinner with the request that he consider same strictly confidential and destroy after reading.
[Handwritten note: Geufite (?) has a 200 M guarantee policy.]
Yours very truly, S.O.C

Chase and Company (Sanford, Fla.)
Description
Chase & Company was established by Joshua Chase and his brother Sydney in 1884. The company sold insurance and later invested in storage facilities and fertilizer sales. Chase & Company was known mainly for its agricultural interests and maintained a series of citrus groves throughout Central Florida. The company was based out of Sanford, Florida, and became one of the city's largest employers into the early twentieth century. By 1886, the Chase brothers purchased several citrus groves to expand their business, including Isleworth Grove in Windermere. Isleworth Grove covered a total of 1,300 acres along the Butler Chain of Lakes.
Between 1894 and 1895, Central Florida was hit by several freezes and most of the citrus crop was destroyed. Chase & Company did not grow citrus crops again until 1904 when Joshua came back from an extended stay in California. Between 1894 and 1900, different types of pesticide equipment was created, including equipment driven by steam, machines, and horses.
Randall Chase joined in the family business soon after his brother, Sydney Chase, Jr., did in 1922. Randall became the president of Chase & Company from 1948-1965. The Isleworth property stayed in the Chase family until 1984 when Franklin Chase, the son of Sydney Chase, sold the property to famed golfer Arnold Palmer.

SANFORD, FLORIDA
April 19, 1924.
Mr. J. C. Chase,
Jacksonville, Fla.
Dear Josh:
I noticed in the Tampa Tribune yesterday announcement of Lem Woods’ intention to throw his lot with the exchange. If it us a fact that Lem Woods has been able to sell his fruit at the price he claimed, to net over $1.00 on the trees, this season and he produced the average quality which is possible with the use of the Gulf Fertilizer it is my own personal opinion that he is the man the Exchange should hire as Sales Manager. It is worthless to look further. He may be using somebody else’s fertilizer on his own groves and producing a better grade of fruit in consequence than the Gulf fertilizer usually turns out.
The only thing I see that we can do is to let the revival period pass without attempting to interfere with the popular movement, just as we did the year the Exchange was organized and Temple predicted that we would be bankrupt in one season if we did not join with the Exchange. I am inclined to believe that there are a great many growers who have been in the Exchange that cannot again be fooled into signing up until they know more about how the re¬organized Exchange will be officered.
I think your letter to Skelly is fine. I would suggest that you send it to Ford under an assumed name and see if he would not like to publish it in his paper.
Yours very truly,
S. O. C.

Citrus fruit industry--Florida
Chase and Company (Sanford, Fla.)
Description
Chase & Company was established by Joshua Chase and his brother Sydney in 1884. The company sold insurance and later invested in storage facilities and fertilizer sales. Chase & Company was known mainly for its agricultural interests and maintained a series of citrus groves throughout Central Florida. The company was based out of Sanford, Florida, and became one of the city's largest employers into the early twentieth century. By 1886, the Chase brothers purchased several citrus groves to expand their business, including Isleworth Grove in Windermere. Isleworth Grove covered a total of 1,300 acres along the Butler Chain of Lakes.
Between 1894 and 1895, Central Florida was hit by several freezes and most of the citrus crop was destroyed. Chase & Company did not grow citrus crops again until 1904 when Joshua came back from an extended stay in California. Between 1894 and 1900, different types of pesticide equipment was created, including equipment driven by steam, machines, and horses.
Randall Chase joined in the family business soon after his brother, Sydney Chase, Jr., did in 1922. Randall became the president of Chase & Company from 1948-1965. The Isleworth property stayed in the Chase family until 1984 when Franklin Chase, the son of Sydney Chase, sold the property to famed golfer Arnold Palmer.

CHASE & CO.
CARLOT DISTRIBUTORS
CITRUS FRUITS AND VEGETABLES
JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA
April 8th 1924.
Views to be presented by Chase & Company at the Orlando citrus growers' meeting of April 9th.
First:- The low market conditions this season have been brought about by a variety of causes. There has been excess citrus production in Florida and California, and there has also been excess production of apples and all kinds of canned and dried fruits. Consequently, the Florida crop has been called upon to compete not only with its own excess production but the excess and overproduction on all other fruits both green, dried and canned. The opening of the season was handicapped by a very heavy grape crop, mostly from California, whichhad a very material effect on lessening the demand for early grapefruit.
PRE-COLORING: Pre-coloring if properly handled is an advantage and not a disadvantage to the Florida citrus industry. If the color is accelerated by ethylene gas, which is the process in vogue in California, the color of the peel is changed from an objectionable green to color of maturity, and if proper judgement has been used in quality, and also if the standard of maturity established by the State and Government is observed, it helps prolong the marketing season for Florida grapefruit. If improperly handled, it is undoubtedly a detriment. This is a matter that should be controlled by a more rigid enforcement of the law and not only by the authorities but by public opinion in each locality.
CONTROL: In event 75% or more of the estimated crop is in the hands of one agency, it could be mishandled so that the results would be not better if as good as they have been this season. If the distribution is in the hands of people who are ignorant of National merchandising or fail to properly advertise the product in the markets and sell it to consumer or attempt to place too high a value on the goods, it would interfere with the proper consumptive demand and the results would poor.
The control of the crop should mean that those who have charge of the distribution would be in authority to accelerate, retard or completely stop the shipment of any variety where the prospect of results do not hold out the valid hope of at least a return to the grower which will equal the cost of production.
With the coming crop as large if not larger than the one that has just gone into market, it will be absolutely necessary to pay stricter attention to the grading and packing of every box. It may be found that through improper cultural methods or some unforeseen disaster a crop is of poor quality or of undesirable sizes. It may be found that 75% of the crop is of good quality and sizes, with 25% of quality and sizes that should not go into the markets and should be left in the groves. Who is to determine this question?
The writer believes that the Florida growers should invite the cooperation of the U. S. Department of Agriculture and if all agree to abide by the grading rules, this matter can be determined in that way.
CITRUS SIGN-UP-DAY: There is talk of making Thursday, May 1st as Florida Citrus Sign-Up-Day, in an effort to combine 75% of the crop. Who is to determine when this volume of business has been signed up and who is to decide what is to be done with it when it is under contract or agreement? Who is going to be drafted into the service of the growers, to be responsible to them for a satisfactory outcome on the coming crop? Ho w many of you today can agree on three, five or ten men qualified by experience in the business of marketing and distribution 75% or 40,000 carloads of citrus fruit?

Florida Citrus Exchange
Citrus fruit industry--Florida
Chase and Company (Sanford, Fla.)
Description
Chase & Company was established by Joshua Chase and his brother Sydney in 1884. The company sold insurance and later invested in storage facilities and fertilizer sales. Chase & Company was known mainly for its agricultural interests and maintained a series of citrus groves throughout Central Florida. The company was based out of Sanford, Florida, and became one of the city's largest employers into the early twentieth century. By 1886, the Chase brothers purchased several citrus groves to expand their business, including Isleworth Grove in Windermere. Isleworth Grove covered a total of 1,300 acres along the Butler Chain of Lakes.
Between 1894 and 1895, Central Florida was hit by several freezes and most of the citrus crop was destroyed. Chase & Company did not grow citrus crops again until 1904 when Joshua came back from an extended stay in California. Between 1894 and 1900, different types of pesticide equipment was created, including equipment driven by steam, machines, and horses.
Randall Chase joined in the family business soon after his brother, Sydney Chase, Jr., did in 1922. Randall became the president of Chase & Company from 1948-1965. The Isleworth property stayed in the Chase family until 1984 when Franklin Chase, the son of Sydney Chase, sold the property to famed golfer Arnold Palmer.

Description
An original letter of correspondence written by Sydney Octavius Chase to employees at Chase & Company in Orlando. The letter identifies that Chase & Company played an active role in recruiting dissatisfied members from the Florida Citrus Exchange in order to build and extend their own business throughout the state. With an increased membership in the company, Chase hoped that including more growers would help balance out the less productive crops in the previous growing season. The letter also shares some of the doubts and distrust Chase & Company felt toward the Florida Citrus Exchange, a state organization comprised of a large number of Florida citrus growers. While members who trusted the Exchange praised the organization as a united group of growers that promoted better distribution and marketing of their citrus products, growers such as Chase & Company were hesitant to hand over all of their power to a larger organization with poor marketing strategies.
Chase & Company was established in 1884. The company sold insurance and later invested in storage facilities and fertilizer sales. Chase & Company was known mainly for its agricultural interests and maintained a series of citrus groves throughout Central Florida. The company was based out of Sanford and became one of the city's largest employers into the early twentieth century.

CHASE & CO.
CARLOT DI Si TRIBUTOR S
C I T RUS FRUITS AND VEGETABLES JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA_
April 8th 1924.
Views to be presented by Chase Company at the Orlando
citrus growers' meeting of April 9th.
First:- The low market conditions this season have been brought about by a variety of causes. There has been excess citrus production in Florida and California, and there has also been excess production of apples and an kinds of canned and dried fruits. Consequently, the Florida crop has been called upon to compete not only with its own excess production but the excess and overproduction on all other fruit s both green, dried and canned. The opening of the season was handicapped by a very heavy grape crop, mostly from California, whichhad a very material effect on lessening the demand for early grapefruit.
PRE-COLORING: Pre-color ing if proper ly handled is an advantage and not a disadvantage to the Florida citrus industry. If the color is accelerated by ethylene gas, which is the process in vogue in California, the color of the peel is changed from an objectionable green to the color of maturity, and if proper judg¬ment has been used in the quality, and also if the standard of maturity established by the State and Government is observed, it helps prolong the marketing season for Florida grapefruit. If improperly handled, it i S undoubtedly a detriment. This is a matter that should be controlled by a more rigid enforcement of the law and not only by the authorities but by public opinion in each locality.
CONTROL: In event 75% or more of the estimated crop is in the hands of one agency, it could be mishandled so that the results would be no better if as good as they have been this season. If the distribution is in the hands of people who are ignorant of National merchandising or fail to properly advertise the product in the markets and sell it to the consumer or attempt to place too high a value on the goods, it would interfere with the proper consumptive demand and the results would be poor.
The control of the crop should mean that those who have charge of the distribution would be in authority to, accelerate, retard or completely stop the shipment of any variety where the prospect of results do not hold out the valid hope of at least a return to the grower which w ill equal the cost of production.
With the coming crop as large if not larger than the one that has just gone into market, it will be absolutely necessary to pay stricter attention to the grading and packing of every
Sunniland
TRADEMARK
8.124p. It may be found that through improper cultural methods or some unforeseen disaster a crop is of poor quality or of undesirable sizes. It may be found that 75% of the crop is of good quality and sizes, with 25% of quality and sizes that should not go into the markets and should be left in the groves. Who is to determine this question?
The writer believes that the Florida growers should invite the cooperation of the U.S. Department of Agriculture and if all agree to abide by the grading rules, this matter can be determined in that way.
CITRUS SIGN-UP-DAY: There is talk of making Thursday, :lay, 1st as Florida Citrus Sign-Up-Day, in an effort to combine 75% of the crop. who is to determine when this volume of busi¬ness has been signed up and who is to decide what is to be done with it when it is under contract or agreement? ,ho is going to be drafted into the service of the growers, to be responsible to them for a satisfactory outcome on the coming crop? How many of you today can agree on three, five or ten men qualified by experience in the business of marketing and istributing 75% or 40,000 carloads of citrus fruit?
