Description
Dr. Calvin D. Fowler, the man who launched the final three Mercury-Atlas missions, is photographed here, applying his hallmark stamp to what appears to be a commemorative poster during the Apollo era. To assure proper checks and approvals by all appropriate individuals, small custom inked stamps called hallmarks were used by Apollo workers to ensure that checks were performed, and each worker who conducted one approved of the quality or conformance of the inspected item. These hallmarks are visible on equipment and reports of that era.

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.

Mr. W. E. Edwards,
c/o Flacal Sales Agency,
408 Star Building,
Washington, D.C.
Dear Mr. Edwards:-
This will be handed to you by Mr. Corbett Hutchinson, Isleworth Packing house Superintendent, who is stopping off at Washington on his way back from New York. We wanted him to spend a few days in New York and be on hand while the final cars of Isleworth were being sold which were graded and packed under his supervision. We feel that this trip at this season will be of use to him in further improving the Isleworth grade and pack. We would like very much to have him meet you and if possible go with your inspector to Potomac Yards and see just how the cars of Florida fruit and vegetables are inspected by your office and just what are the good and bad points of the Florida grade and pack, so that he can endeavor to correct any of the weak points and enable you to sell more cars of Isleworth during the coming season. Mr. Hutchinson is an Ex-service man and you may be able to compare notes on your war experience.
Yours very truly,
JCC:H

Mr. Corbett Hutchinson,
c/o Chase & Company,
Sanford, Fla.
Dear Sir:-
NEW YORK. When you arrive at the Pennsylvania Depot, you can engage a red cap to carry your satchel from the train into the Pennsylvania Hotel, which is directly across from the depot. Our New York office was instructed to make you a reservation of a $4.00 or $5.00 a day room. This may not be ready for you when you reach New York and you may have to wait, as the hotel is usually engaged ahead. If there is any fall-down on the reservation, hire a taxi and secure a room at one of the other nearby hotels.
Our New York office is located at 66 Harrison St. The office is equipped with a telephone under the name of Chase & Company. We want you to visit the office bright and early Monday morning and go with Mr. Lum to inspect citrus fruit from both California and Florida. California fruit is displayed and sold at the Erie Pier before the Florida sale takes place. Give the grade and pack of the California fruit your careful attention and if you find any of the brands have certain features in paper, guards, or any other trimmings that make memos and secure some of the samples. This same holds good on any of the Florida packs and brands that you inspect during your stay in New York. You had better remain there until the last car of Isleworth first bloom Valencias is sold. If you have time and feel like it, go to the vegetable sales with Mr. Newbold. You will have time in between to take in some of the sights and trust you will have a good trip. Ask Mr. Lum to introduce you to Mr. R. H. Thomas. You already know Mr. Gorman of the Fruit Auction Company.
WASHINGTON. Enclosed find a letter of introduction to our Manager, Mr. Wm. E. Edwards, 408 Star Building, Washington. We think you would be interested in stopping off a day just to meet him and inspect the cars of fruit in Potomac Yards, so you will know how it is done. When you return to Florida we want you to write up a report and call to our attention any pointers that you think we can use next session.
Yours very truly,
JCC:H

CHASE & CO.
ORLANDO, FLORIDA
Jan 22 1927.
Mr. S. O. Chase,
Henry Grady Hotel,
Atlanta, Georgia.
Dear Syd:
There does not appear to be anything to add to what we have already said. After my talk with you, when you advised Parrish's statement of Federal inspection in New York, we wired the New York office to find out if it was so. No one in Orlando had this advice, and Newton telegraphed down to McManus to find out what there was to it. Up to the present time we have heard nothing from anywhere.
I am going out to Isleworth this afternoon to show the place to Mrs. Ferguson of Orange Park, and will probably see Browne, Hutchinson and others. Will touch Browne up about the plat that he is making of the place and tell him to show speed from now on as it is wanted. Will say nothing to him about his absence from the place.
The quicker all of our men are put on notice to stay on the job or to ask permission before they go elsewhere, the better it is going to be.
Yours very truly,
