Cool find! I located a newspaper reference (Kansas City Globe 6/28/1906) indicating there was a meeting of the United Commercial Travelers in Columbus at that date.

And I also found this article with a photo of the society building and it looks a lot like the building on your badge.

I was thinking it had something to do with the State Fair. .. which is still a possibility .. but i found a funny news paper report on that day.

I was hoping to find a quick resolve to it but no go .. good luck mate.
