Chase and Company (Sanford, Fla.)
Citrus fruit industry--Florida
Agriculture--Florida
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.

Description
Bulk fruit equipment at Isleworth Grove in Windermere, Florida, in January of 1953. 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. 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 Correspondence, Box 49, folder 20.84
January 20, 1928.
Brockelman Bros.,
Fitchburg, Mass.
Gentlemen, -THE ISLEWORTH GROVES-
The Isleworth Groves owned by the Chase Investment Company and located at Isleworth, a station on the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad, about fifteen (15) miles west of Orlando, contains in the tract over a thousand acres, of which five hundred acres are planted to citrus fruit.
The attention of Mr. S. O. Chase and Mr. J. C. Chase, who make up the Chase Investment company, was attracted to this location thirty-seven (37) years ago, owing to its immunity from frost damage. The Seminole Indians who occupied this territory realized that it was warmer than elsewhere, as the region was known to them as “Ocooee”, or “warm place”.
The freeze that visited Florida in the winter of 1894-95 that practically annihilated the Florida orange industry, did less damage at Isleworth than elsewhere in the State. At that time the property comprised 750 Seedling trees. Those were brought back into bearing and the additional acreage has been developed by degrees since 1904.
The owners used care in selecting for planting the very best obtainable varieties consisting mostly of Dancy Tangerines, Pineapple Oranges, Valencias and Grapefruit. Prof. A. D. Shamel of the United States Department of Agriculture, now stationed at Riverside, California, was the first to call the citrus industry’s attention to propagating with buds selected from trees with an established record for producing the largest crop of the best fruit. Isleworth was fortunate in being benefited by this knowledge, and the owners feel that they have the very best strain of the various varieties produced commercially in Florida.
The assortment of varieties gives them the benefit of a long shipping season.
We are now winding up our tangerines and mid-season oranges and picking on our pineapple oranges. At the same time we are moving grapefruit on orders from our regular customers. Towards the end of February, 1st the First of March we start moving our Valencia oranges, and make our final shipment of grapefruit, consisting of the Marsh Seedless variety.
Isleworth Groves are one of the largest acreage under one fence, and ownership, in Orange County. Owing to the fact that the tract is surrounded by lakes, of which
Lake Butler is the largest, it has been possible for the owners to install an irrigating system so that water can be applied when needed, and the trees are maintained in a flourishing condition. The fruit is never permitted to become stunted from lack of water.
The packinghouse is equipped with the latest and most up-to-date machinery, which includes a pre-cooling or cold storage plant. When the fruit is packed it is held twenty-four (24) hours in these rooms until all of the heat has been removed, and is then loaded into refrigerator cars at the door, thereby insuring good condition on arrival and prolonging the life of the fruit while it is in the hands of the jobber, the retailer and the consumer. All of the fruit is treated with a solution of borax which acts as a preservative and eliminates any decay germs that some times attack fruit.
In the near future we will have aerial photographs of the property and expect to include one of these cuts in every box that goes forward.
We appreciate the order you have favored us with thru our Boston representative, Samuel J. Shallow Company, and feel sure that when your patrons’ attention is called to the superior merits of Isleworth brand of fruit it will result in your becoming one of our very best distributors in your territory.
We are now in position to take care of a limited number of straight cars of Florida mid-season oranges, pineapple oranges, grapefruit and Valencia oranges. There may be one, two, or more cars of late tangerines which will be ready for the market in February.
Yours very truly,
JCC/g

Description
An original letter of correspondence between brothers and business partners Joshua Coffin Chase and Sydney Octavius Chase. Topics discussed in the letter include a letter to Sydney from J. C. Palmer and his inquiry to establish a fish nursery along Isleworth Grove.<br /><br />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.

April 29, 1931.
Mr. S. O. Chase,
Office.
Dear Syd:
Am returning herewith letter to your from J.C. Palmer, expressing a desire to clean out and made use of, for fish nursery stock, a small pond making off from Lake Butler that is now included under the Isleworth fence.
The writer is unable to express an opinion until he has gone over the ground and secured a better idea of what the plans are. Will endeavor to see Bumby and have him make a statement.
If we do not surrender either water or land and all of our interests are properly safeguarded, we might be in position to grant the request. Perhaps Senator Fletcher might be able to establish a regular hatchery there, and if not, perhaps the State would be interested in doing so. This would not be objectionable, although it might make it necessary to put up a doubly high barbed wire fence to keep the fish from jumping out or some of the people that look after them.
Yours truly,
JCC: GEM

October 26, 1951.
Mr. S. O. Chase,
P.O.Box 23,
Asheville, N. C.
Dear Syd:
This morning the writer spent several hours at Isleworth, driving over the main part of the grove with Crowell, Hutchinson, and Magnuson. We now have ready for movement several cars of grapefruit of good quality, but the sizes run so strong to 96s that the writer felt it would be poor judgement to pick. I also find that unusually small sizes are the poorest, smallest, the writer has ever found on the place at this season of the year. The fruit is dropping due to the dry weather. Crowell is now irrigating for the second time the principal blocks of tangerines and pineapples. The condition of the trees throughout the property is good. We did not go over to the Lake Butler place.
I am writing F. W. Davis calling his attention to the early varieties at Isleworth which would be in every way suitable to go forward in the first cars of bagged fruit. All of these varieties have very good eating qualities at the present time. Magnuson tells me that up to the present time we are about 8' of rainfall shy of normal at Isleworth. A cold winter would tear us wide open.
There has been a great big improvement in the quantity and quality of the fruit on the trees on that portion of the Island that you root pruned and trimmed last season.
Affectionately,
JCC:HMR.

Description
Seminole County Public Schools' Teacher Records from 1913 to 1954. When the Seminole County School Board was established in 1913, it began recording teachers' names, ages, certifications, years of experience, number of months contracted, and salaries in a loose-leaf ledger. Over the years, the records began including new categories of information, such as home addresses and colleges/universities attended. In total, the ledger includes 116 pages and details the teachers employed at both Caucasian and African-American schools. Schools were located in various towns in Seminole County including Sanford, Lake Mary, Geneva, Longwood, Oviedo, Clyde, Gabriella, Altamonte Springs, Chuluota, Paola, Lake Monroe, Goldsboro, Markham, Forest City, Curryville, and Midway-Canaan.

Subject
Tarpon Springs (Fla.)
Description
A booklet of postcards from Tarpon Springs, Florida. The earliest Americans settlers to Tarpon Springs came following the American Civil War. The town was first promoted by Hamilton Disston (1844-1896) as a town for relaxation and health. In early 1987, Tarpon Springs became the first city to be incorporated on the Pinellas Peninsula. The Orange Belt Railway first arrived in 1887 and sponge harvesting became a prime industry in the area. Tarpon Springs thrived during the Florida land boom of the 1920s and collapsed when the rest of the state bust in 1926, which also saw the devastation of a major hurricane. Despite the land bust and the Great Depression, the sponge industry continued to thrive until 1938, when a blight infested the sponge beds. Instead, the city turned to tourism, capitalizing on its rich Greek culture.<br /><br />This postcard is part of a collection of postcards kept by Lucile Campbell, a schoolteacher in Sanford, Florida, for 30 years. In 1931, she took advantage of a special rate for teachers and sailed to Europe, where she traveled for several months and is thought to have acquired many of these postcards. During the 1940-1941 school year, Campbell taught at Sanford Grammar School. Before her retirement in 1970, she taught at many other area schools, including the Oviedo School, Westside Grammar School, and Pinecrest Elementary School. Campbell used these postcards as aids in her classrooms to teach advanced subjects, such as Shakespearean drama. The collection, along with her other teaching aids, papers, and photographs, was later found at Sanford Grammar School after it became the University of Central Florida's Public History Center. Campbell's postcard collection and photographs provide insight into the life of a respected Florida educator.
