In 1930, H.T. “Ray” Castello had a dream. Together with several other salesmen, Ray found a method of promoting business, boosting the spirits and increasing the awareness of salesmen. This was the humble beginning of the City Salesmen’s Club.
The purpose and need of the club were all too evident during those early years of depression and despair. Salesmen were expected to sell even when no one was buying. Bosses were cutting salaries, commissions and bonuses. Salesmen who were fortunate enough to have jobs, couldn’t sell their products.
