late Caleb Chaseof Massachusetts--Coffce
. J Merchant Gives Salesmen $1000 Each.
E. 6. Streeter of 459 East Nineteenth
treet north, la a beneficiary to the ex
tent of flOOO of one of the most remark
able will ever filed for probate in any
atate. Mr. Btreeter is only one of nearly
300 employes of the testator, who by
the terms of the will are made legatees.
Calob Chase, for 43 years senior part
ner of the tea and cof tee house of Chase
& Sanborn, died in Brookline, Mass., No
vember 23 last During his entire busi
ness life he had been a kind and consid
erate employer, always ready to do what
he could to help those-who worked for
him. But none of them had any Idea of
the length to which he would carry his
- consideration for their welfare and his
gratitude for falthful-aerwicea rendered.
When the will was opened and read
It was found that he had left something
to each one of his employes who had
'been with him a year or more. The firm
has 65 traveling salesmen. Each of
them received a beauest of $1000. To
the widows of four deceased traveling
salesmen Mr. Chase left f 5000 each.
Every member of the sales and of
fice departments received 1500; every
one employed in the shipping depart
ment and factory $200.
There have been Instances before this
of men dying and leaving1-bequests to
a few individuals who had served them
long and faithfully, but there is no
other instance on record of an employ
er: remembering in this manner all of
his employes, of whatever- station and
degree of Importance.
, But this Is not all. Mr. Chase left
to charitable . Institutions, churches,
schools and town a total of $180,000.
The Salvation Army, in the work of
which he was greatly Interested, bene
fits by the will to the extent of $15,000.
Ten thousand dollars Is left to the Bos
ton Home for Aged Couples; $10,000
to the Boston Home for Aged Men;
$10,000 to the Boston Home for Aged
"Women. The Boston T. M. C. A., the
Boston Y. M. C. A., the Boston Y, W.
C. A., the Boston Floating hospital; the
Ancient and - Honorable Artillery com'
pany of .Massachusetts each receive
$10,000.
Mr. Chase was born at Harwich,
Mans., and during all his life he re
tained an affection for the place of his
birth and did what he could to improve
its condition, among other things build
ing the seawall at that place, when he
came to make his will, he did not for
get the town. The Baptist church of
West. Harwich receives $10,000; the
Methodist church of North Harwich
half that Amount. Tun .thmiMfttiri rirtl
lars is left to the town of Harwich for
tne support or us poor, and $6000 is
left to Uie town of Pennis, Mass., Tor
asimilar purpose. '. j
And there ara numerous other simi
lar bequests. The N, K. Home for Lit
tle Wanderers gets $5000; the Boston
Institute Seashore Home, $5000; the
.Home for Aged People, Winchester,
Mass., $5000: the Women's Charity Club
hospital. $5000; the West End Nursery
and Infants' hospital, $6000; New Eng
land Deaconess' Home, $6000. And there
are several other similar bequests,
showing the sympathy Caleb Chase felt
lor me poor, sick ana unfortunate.
"Caleb Chase has left hlmiwtlf . m on 11
tnent," said K. S. Streeter this morning,
"but he-had been building' the monu
ment all his life. His final act of gener
osity is only the cap stone. He was al
ways ready to do what he coul to help
his employes. He didn't wait until he
died. ' ' .
"Mr. Banborn died some time ago, and
now, with the death of Mr. Chase the
management of the business falls Into
me nana or tne men wno nave risen in
the firm during Mr. Chase's lifetime and
who have been educated along the lines
of fair treatment of .their employes.
"I have been with the firm two years
and a half, and I get $1000 by the terms
of the will. And I am only one of 65
traveling salesmen who are equally for
tunate. It la worth while to have
worked for a man like Caleb Chase."

We fully appreciate the trust imposed in us when you enter, our store. You can hardly get there without
passing other shoe stores, and we realize it is up-to us to make' it worth your while to do that passing. Men
rarely take the trouble to look up one particular place for something that can be had just as good at any place.
Precedent may be the proper basis for le gal opinions, but is a very poor foundation
on which to establish a progressive business. Doing thing "Just like the other fellow"
has introduced more sad merchants to the sheriff than all other agencies combined.
We are not governed by ordinary standards In selecting styles or determining prices.
We aim to satisfy both discriminating taste and exacting judgment; with original models
we captivate the first "CRAWFORD" values convince the second.
