From a 1909 club directory:

ORGANIZED for the purpose ofcreating cordial social relationsbetween the business menof Denver, theColorado Traffic Club hasgrown in threeyears to be themost powerful andsubstantial commercial body inthis city. Probablyin no city inthe United Statesis there asimilar organization where thespirit of loyaltyto the avowedtenets is so pronounced.

The membership ofthe Colorado TrafficClub is limited atthis time toeight hundred, andthere is always along waiting listof names totake the place ofthose who, inthe natural shiftingof events, drop outof the club.On the membership roll of the clubare the namesof nearly everyman high in thecommercial, industrial andrailroad affairs of Denverand Colorado, andin addition theprofessions are well represented.In such esteem is this clubheld that thereis a longlist of non-residentmembers who reside incities in otherstates.

Denver business men,aside from thenatural care for theirown commercial interests,strive in- cessantly for theupbuilding of Coloradoand Colo- rado's capital. The constantdrain on theirbank accounts for thepurpose of promotingmunicipal and state growthand commercial advantageswould discourage men lessresolute than they.There are few parallelcases where commercialmen of agreat city contribute sowillingly and liberallyto the general hopper ofpublic endeavor, withthe full knowledge, born oflong experience, thatreturns must be realizedalone in theaggregate of benefitsthat accrue for theentire community.
