- Description:
- The collection is arranged by correspondence, president notes and livestock records. Much of the information in the correspondence section deals with requests from businesses looking for various information about LaGrange, i.e. number of particular types of industries, hotels, population, etc. There are also requests from individuals seeking information about moving to the area. Notes and correspondence pertaining to the Chamber’s presidents include minutes of meetings, correspondence with other towns and with the National Chamber of Commerce. The minutes contain information on various projects but often lack details. The material on livestock and canning plant reports is more complete as is information about building the Taft Memorial Highway, US 27, and State Route 109. Membership cards for the 1947-48 are included as is information on donations for completion of the Rural-Urban Building. Three scrapbooks cover Chamber events during the time period.
