- Description
- Ledger containing list of members and dues records and extensive, handwritten minutes of meetings for a commercial and economic organization. Inside cover has pasted copy of the committees for the farmers' banquet.

- Provenance
- Found in collections. This ledger was previously identified as belonging to the Gresham Commercial Club; however, the Commercial Club was essentially defunct by 1923, when entries begin, and is more likely to have been from its successor, and the predecessor to the Gresham Chamber of Commerce, the Progressive Citizens League, which was active from 1922-1929.
