The corporation, non-profit organization, is composed of Green Bay citizens. They come from all walks of life—barbers, railroad brakemen and conductors, machinists, paper mill workers, physicians and surgeons, dentists and lawyers. The affairs of the club are administered by a board of directors elected each year by the stockholders.The president is usually some leading business or professional man, who serves without pay. If* there are any profits at the end of the season, part is turned over to the American Legion, part of it is put back into the stadium, which wras built with “pro” football profits and which the high school teams use, and part is put into the club treasury for use on a “rainy day.”The team is looked upon as a civic enterprise and no effort is made to show a big profit each season, although the Packers are the greatest drawing card in the pro” league. Last year they played before 45,000 in the Yankee Stadium in New York. A few Sundays ago 35,000 saw them defeat the Chicago Bears, 6 to 2.
