Historical Sketch:<\/em><\/p>\n

The Cleveland Chamber of Commerce, founded in 1948, was organized for the purpose of advancing the civic, commercial, industrial, economic, social and general interest of the people of Cleveland and vicinity.\u00a0 The organization is non-profit, non-partisan, non-political, non-sectional and takes no part in or lends its support to the election or appointment of any candidate for state, county, city or federal office. It is governed by a board of directors. Those applying for membership have to submit their application to the Board of Directors, which approves or disapproves of it and notifies the applicant.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Scope and Content:<\/em><\/p>\n

The collection is divided into four series:<\/p>\n
