Re: COM'L CLUB?
"The Commercial Club, which had 150 male-only members in 1910, was responsible for promoting paving projects, the cannery, sewer improvements and the gravity flow water system."

Re: COM'L CLUB?
Commercial clubs (and similar organizations) often had a bar, billiard tables, and/or card tables in their rooms - a more respectable place for the businessman to tell the little lady where he would be spending the evening than at the local pool hall or saloon. Since admission was generally restricted to members and perhaps their employees or guests, they were indeed more respectable and orderly.
