History:

The Colorado Traffic Club was incorporated March 29, 1906. The organization was the culmination of a movement to get the business men and railroad men together in one large organization. Following are names that appear in the incorporation papers:

Charles F. Freeland * Lester B. Bridahan * Aaron D. Lewis * Ralph R. Gillette * Joshua P. Hall * John F. Vallery * Karl K. Mayer * Charles D. Griffin * George W. Brooks * William P. McPhee * A. D. Parker * William M. Lampton * James C. Ferguson * Lewis F. Kimball * W. C. Metzger

A.D. Parker was chosen as the first president.

The motto of the club was: “Strive for the up-building of Denver and Colorado”

Membership of the club was initially limited to 800, and there was a long line of applicants waiting to take the place of members who, in the natural shifting of events, drop out of the club. On the membership roll of the club are the names of nearly every man high in the commercial, industrial and railroad affairs of Denver and Colorado.
