Chase Motor Truck Company originated from manufacturing farm tools. Aurin M. Chase, who was previously the vice president of the Syracuse Chilled Plow Company that has been in business since 1804, began producing a one-ton truck powered by an air-cooled, three-cylinder, two-cycle engine. Aurin Chase partnered with prominent Syracuse figures including Paul Bellinger from the Solvay Process Company and Roy Grant from Grant's Hardware. In the same year, Aurin M. Chase negotiated the sale of the Syracuse Chilled Plow Company to Deere & Company. Initially, Chase developed an innovative concept for early automobile manufacturers, a gasoline-fueled "high wheeler" that could transform into either a passenger car or a truck. Chase Motor Truck Company boasted the company slogan "The Emblem of Efficiency." The firm asserted, "Chase trucks are not passenger vehicles; they are utility vehicles. Repeat orders from leading businesses worldwide testify to the simplicity and efficiency of Chase's light delivery trucks."
