Description: The Colorado Traffic Club, Denver, Co 1913 Membership Card. Signed by George Sells. Measures 4 x 2 1/2 inches. Very good condition.From a 1909 club directory:ORGANIZED for the purpose of creating cordial social relations between the business men of Denver, the Colorado Traffic Club has grown in three years to be the most powerful and substantial commercial body in this city. Probably in no city in the United States is there a similar organization where the spirit of loyalty to the avowed tenets is so pronounced.The membership of the Colorado Traffic Club is limited at this time to eight hundred, and there is always a long waiting list of names to take the place of those who, in the natural shifting of events, drop out of the club. On the membership roll of the club are the names of nearly every man high in the commercial, industrial and railroad affairs of Denver and Colorado, and in addition the professions are well represented. In such esteem is this club held that there is a long list of non-resident members who reside in cities in other states. Denver business men, aside from the natural care for their own commercial interests, strive in- cessantly for the upbuilding of Colorado and Colo- rado's capital. The constant drain on their bank accounts for the purpose of promoting municipal and state growth and commercial advantages would discourage men less resolute than they. There are few parallel cases where commercial men of a great city contribute so willingly and liberally to the general hopper of public endeavor, with the full knowledge, born of long experience, that returns must be realized alone in the aggregate of benefits that accrue for the entire community.
