CLAY STREET MERCHANTS ASSOCIATION
CLAY STREET MERCHANTS ASSOCIATION. This voluntary business association of merchants in one area of Dubuque was active around 1915. In October, a meeting of members of the DUBUQUE CLUB was held at which the idea of an organization to boost Dubuque's economy was discussed. This organization, which representing the entire city, would not replace any of the other organizations like the Dubuque Club, DUBUQUE INDUSTRIAL CORPORATION, Clay Street Merchants Association of the WEST DUBUQUE IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION. The new organization would coordinate efforts of these groups. (1)
