The Muscatine Commercial Club moves to the Hershey building boosting membership and launching a vigorous Greater Muscatine campaign. Organizers stress renewed life and booster spirit, uniting business leaders for city prosperity and shared gains.
Muscatine’s Commercial Club expanded to 350 members and led a citywide push to attract workers and new factories. Secretary Edward Ogilvie begins full-time duties as committees cover Railroads, Manufactures, Advertising, Jobs, and Public Affairs. Four hundred strangers have found employment since the ad campaign, with two to three hundred more workers needed immediately.
Inducements offered in Muscatine lead to relocation of Ziegler Canning and Lowe Jewelry. Muscatine Motor Boat Co forms with local capital, using former Hershey Lumber structures. By July 11 all plants run full, employing about 25 at the jewelry shop and 150 at the canning plant, with orders flooding the boat factory near the Muscatine Chute.
