Commercial Club Reawakens Life in City Leadership
The Commercial club, dormant for years, is revived with new energy and plans to rejoin High Point’s social and commercial life. Members renovated the South Main street clubhouse bought in 1916 for 25 000 dollars, adding furnishings and plans to reopen bowling alleys. The club helped spark the chamber of commerce, Southern Furniture Exposition building, and the Sheraton hotel, shaping city development.
