Abstract
"When some of the old records of the Commercial club were being moved today to the new quarters a manuscript of yellowed paper fell to the sidewalk. Picking it up W. E. Richardson, assistant secretary found it to be the first annual report of the Yakima Commercial club submitted by J. M. Gilbert, secretary in 1894. This ancient paper disclosed that the Commercial club was organized late in 1893 at the suggestion of E. F. Benson and was 'born in the conviction that growing interests of Yakima county demanded for their oversight and guidance the concentrated effort and care of her business men."
