What is the Commercial Club?
THE Commercial Club is an organization of pro-
4 gressive citizens-owner Of large business enter
prlses, retail dealers, manufacturers, jobbers. salaried
men, educators. travelling men, professional men and
railway men who have the welfare of this city at
heart.
The club is a forum where men of all classes may
meet and discuss subjects of civic activity. 1t is a
clearing house for ideas on city development. 1t is
a cooperative body whose thought is "One for all
and all for one"
The club is the advertising bureau of the city.
1t is the medium through which the city talks to the
world at large--to the people of other states and
other cities, to railroad companies and public service
corporations generally.
The club represents the city in the entertainment
of visitors in securing industrial enterprises and in
promoting constructive effort along various lines.
1t gives opportunity for initiating movements for
civic improvements.
To produce a well-balanced community, wherein all
may have a "sqare deal" where healthfulness, pros
perlty, education and recreation are in the reach of
every citizen; to develop and utilize the resources of
Grand Forks territory-these are the purposes of
the Grand Forks Commercial Club.
The offices and club rooms are located on the Gee.
ond floor of the Elks building on North Fourth street.
The general administrative offices of the club are
here. There is a large lobby, two spacious reading
and lounging rooms where all the latest periodicals
and newspapers are kept. Three private offices are
provided for the use of the active officials of the club.
An assembly room furnishes a place for general
meetings and membership dinners, There is a bill
lizard and pool room equipped with two fine billiard
tables and a pool table. In the rear of the building
80 - vi ,pl4~ ~ ~. Ls-~> 1888
are being served. The club rooms are equipped
throughout in an artistic manner, designed both for
beauty and convenience.
Every man who is interested in the future of this
city and state should belong to this club.
Grand Forks C0mmerCialClub
This club has nothing to seH-its business is to pro
mote the common good-to assist in Developing Grand
Forks and North Dakota-it represents all interests alike.
