1Title:  Women's Advertising Club of Cleveland     
 Creator:  Women's Advertising Club of Cleveland 
 Dates:  1919-1991 
 Abstract:  The Women's Advertising Club of Cleveland, Ohio, is a professional association of women in the advertising and public relations industry in Cleveland. It was founded in 1919 by several of the first women copy writers and commercial artists in the city. Early members included DuMont Grant, advertising manager of Halle Brothers Company, and Freda Gonder, Belle Hoffman, and Ruth Jenkins of the May Company. Others were employed in various advertising offices of department stores and women's specialty shops. As advertising expanded and more women found employment in the field, the club soon included those working in radio and television broadcasting, public relations, printing, direct mail, ad specialties, and newspapers. In addition to professional concerns, the group maintained an extensive social schedule, including benefit activities and community contests. Betty Ott was an active member of the club. The collection consists of minutes, committee reports, correspondence, publications and printed material, financial reports, membership rosters, conference materials, program information, and scrapbook material.
