It was then known as the Marshall Commercial Club. Five years ago the name was changed to the present one and the building in which they carry on business was bought at that time. The Chamber of Commerce is always on the alert to bring new industries to Marshall. Two recent important ones are: The International Shoe Factory, and the Nicholas-Beazley Airplane School and Factory. Some of the other work done by this organization is the issu- ing of automobile license, controlling the credit bureau, employ- ment bureau, and pushing for better roads. The Chamber of Com- merce is now making a move to get a condensery brought to Mar- shall. The members of the organization are the merchants, business and professional men of Marshall. At the present time there is a ninety per cent membership. in uint: Page Z6

N' Commercial Department ACH day one hundred and forty students pass through these class rooms. They are engaged while here in the study of Typewriting, Shorthand, and Bookkeeping. There are at present three classes of second-year typists, two of first-year stenographers, one of bookkeepers, and one of second-year stenographers. The department gives a thorough course in these subjects, so that any- one who has completed the course is qualified for the routine of the average office. It is hoped that future demands will warrant the addition of courses in Commercial, Law Office Practice, Business Arithmetic, Business Geography and a second year of Bookkeeping. Certain students in each of the classes are at present in training for the contests at XVarrensburg this spring. The department feels that it will gain its share of the honors offered in these contests. li
