WAUPACA POST

January 2, 1890

 

            Through neglect of members to pay dues to attend meetings, and for other reasons, the Business Men’s Association rooms have been closed.  That this should be the case is to be deplored, and the more so in that the “other reasons” are in the main responsible for the first two mentioned. The club rooms were an ornament to the city, they were a pleasant place to entertain strangers, and should have maintained.  As a successor, the Waupaca Whist club starts off in good shape, and will probably do what it can toward filling the vacancy.  But a business men’s association, run on the principles of a chamber of commerce, wher public improvements can be talked over, and suggestions for the city’s weal be started, is a necessity in a city growing as rapidly as is Waupaca, and it will be but a question of time before it will be a certainty.
