• [excerpts] Within a week after the [1906 earthquake and] fire, there emerged a new and dominating figure in the history of Kohler & Chase, who was to bring the firm a new prestige and glory. This was George Q. Chase, son of one of the founders, who after studying the business from every angle by serving his time in different departments, was now ready to take over the helm. George Q. Chase is a worthy son of a pioneer father, and his act in the great emergency was to hang out a large wooden sign at 824 Fulton Street with the firm name printed in large letters, telling the world that Kohler & Chase was standing by San Francisco and was still in business, and ready for the new era.5350
