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.

Mr. J.C. Chase,
c/o The Chase Investment Co.,
Orlando, Florida.
Dear Sir:
We thank you very much for your letter of January 20, which gives us the story of your Orange groves and Oranges. We will write up a good story about these and put it in the next issue of our Broadcaster, a small magazine that we send out to 15M R.F.D. Box Holders, in the interest of our twelve stores. We are enclosing a copy of our Broadcaster herewith.
We note that you are going to have some aerial pictures of your property in the near future. When you get some of these, if you could send us a print from a negative (not just a print run off in a printing press), we will be very glad to have a cut made and print it in the Broadcaster, together with the story of the groves.
We are quite interested to know the exact meaning of the term “Pineapple Orange”: i.e., what quality or flavor, juiciness, size, etc., is so designated.
Yours very truly,
BROCKELMAN BROS. INC.

Chase Correspondence, Box 49, folder 20.84
Jan. 30th, 1928.
Brockelman Bros., Inc.,
Fitchburg, Mass.
Gentlemen:-
This will acknowledge receipt of your letter of Jan. 29th, enclosing your little magazine entitled “Broadcaster”, which is certainly a splendid medium to place your goods before the consumers. In event future issues of the magazine make any mention of Isleworth oranges or grapefruit, we would very much appreciate a copy.
You will regret to learn that the aerial photographer who was under contract to make a photograph of Isleworth Groves was badly injured last Friday, making it necessary to amputate his right foot. Just as soon as the partners can secure another man to take his place, the photograph will be made.
We note you are interested in our pineapple oranges. This is the most highly colored orange grown in Florida and derived its name originally from the fact that when the fruit is ripe it creates the aroma that the original grower thought resembled that of the pineapple and this gave it the name of the pineapple orange. This is a variety that is usually moved after the midseason fruit is shipped and just before we start moving our valencias. In some districts the pineapple orange matures more early and beings to reach the markets in late December or early January. All of the high priced Indian River oranges you will find are catalogues as of the pineapple variety. In even you can use additional supplies of Isleworth oranges or grapefruit, it will give us great pleasure to quote you prices through our Mr. Shallow.
Yours very truly,
CHASE INVESTMENT CO.,

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.
