Crawford Chamber of Commerce In common with all western cities or new towns the city of Crawford in 1911 organized a commercial body called the "Crawford's Business Men's Organization" says Geo. E. Gorton, the present secretary of the Crawford Chamber of Commerce. It was principally to look after credits, there being many transient people at the time. The re-organization took

place two years later to include in the work of the institution the broader needs of the town. Chas. A. Minick was chairman and H. L. Wilson was secretary of the meeting. The following officers were, chosen: W. B. Morrison, president; J. E. Porter, first vice president; A. L. Hungerford, second vice president ; Chas. H. Chase, third vice president and Cyrus O. Wertz as secretary. S. A. Oliver was treasurer. The Chamber has affiliated with the state and national organizations and did an immense amount of work in its various lines, the most important of which is perhaps the highway work and marking through the beautiful parkland of northwest Nebraska.
