Hey Matt,
Glad I'm not alone in trying to visualize this monkey. I'm chalking it as had to have in hand with a high degree of difficulty of photographic capture.
Steve, is your book the 1964 edition? Old Chaucey C. was the heir of a family of Rochester perfumers.
"FRANK E. WOODWORTH.
Frank E. Woodworth, whose rare aptitude and ability for achieving results are being constantly manifest in his business career, is president of the C. B. Woodworth Sons Company. He has spent his entire life in Rochester, where he has so directed his labors as to gain recognition as one of the leading business men. The Woodworths are a pioneer family of Monroe county, arriving here in 1819. Spencer Woodworth, the grandfather of Frank E. Woodworth, removed from South Coventry, Connecticut, to western New York and settled
in the town of Gates, where he cleared and cultivated several hundred acres of land. His son, Chauncey B. Woodworth, was from early manhood a factor in the business life of Rochester and became the founder of the extensive perfume and extract manufacturing business now conducted under the name of the C. B. Woodworth Sons Company.
Frank E. Woodworth was born in this city in
1855 and has here remained to the present day. His education completed, he became his father's associate in his manufacturing interests. About the middle of the nineteenth century Chauncey B. Woodworth established business as a manufacturer of perfumes and extracts and for three years, from
1856 until 1859. conducted this enterprise in partnership with Reuben A. Bunnell.
After purchasing his partner's interest he was .alone in business until the admission of his son, Chauncey C. Woodworth. On attaining his majority. Frank E. Woodworth became connected with the business which, being continually developed along modern commercial lines, has grown to mammoth proportions. In 1893 the business was re-organized and incorporated under the name of the C. B. Woodworth Sons Company, and Frank E. Woodworth was chosen president and still remains at the head of the enterprise. His career has been that of an enterprising business man who is continually watchful of opportunities and puts forth effective effort in the execution of his well defined plans. With him as officers of the company are his son, Frank K. Woodworth, who is vice president, and his nephew, Charles C. Woodworth, who is secretary and treasurer. Their output includes perfumes, which are sold all over the United States, toilet powders, face washes, cold cream and other toilet preparations. All of the sons of C. B. Woodworth have at one time or another been connected with the firm which is one of the oldest establishments of this character in the United States, having had a continuous existence of more than a half century..." From History of Rochester and Monroe County, 1908.
I am seeing no resemblance between Chauncey's Monkey and Harry's. I see Connor's point with a side of Honey Bear...
Harry, will you give it another photo op? For the old blind guys?
