Eastern Securities Company proposed in Philadelphia notice
Richard C. Dale, as solicitor, published a notice that Edward B. Chase and four others will apply to the Governor of Pennsylvania for a charter of the Eastern Securities Company. The firm would buy sell or hold for investment shares bonds or other obligations of corporations. Chase said the venture is a ordinary business proposition with no special significance. He suggested associates include Berwind-White Coal Company figures but did not name behind the project. Some fear a holding company linked to Berwinds and the Reading stock, but Chase denied such plans.
