CHARLES EDISON
Charles Edison signs Edison Botanic Research Corporation check during Thomas
Edison's domestic rubber research efforts.
Partly Printed Check signed: "Charles Edison" as President-Vice President of the Edison
Botanic Research Corporation and "J.Y. Miller" as Treasurer, 8¼x3. West Orange,
New Jersey, 1929 March 5. Drawn on the account of Edison Botanic Research Corporation
at Savings Investment & Trust Co., East Orange, New Jersey. Check No. 1464. Payable to
Florida Power & Light Co. for $66.60. This check was signed in the year of the 50th
anniversary of the incandescent lamp, which Charles Edison's father, Thomas Alva Edison, had
invented on October 21, 1879. During the time period of this check (1927-1931), the elder
Edison, who founded the Botanic Research Corp., was endeavoring to find a source for rubber
from domestic plants. His laboratory for such was in Florida. Shortly before his death on
October 18, 1931, his laboratory developed vulcanized rubber from goldenrods. Charles, the
first son of Edison's second wife, Mina Miller, had been named President of Thomas A. Edison,
Incorporated in 1927. In 1945, following public service as Assistant Secretary of the Navy
(1937-1939), Secretary of the Navy (1939-1940) and Governor of New Jersey (1941-1944),
he resumed direction of the Edison Industries. Circular cancellation holes touch the "J" in Miller's
signature. Light show through of bank stamp on verso just touches the "n" in Edison. Fine
condition.
