In 1929, the Junior Association of Commerce, an organization of young business men devoted to the development of the city, was formed by 50 men attending a meeting in the Saint Paul Hotel. Mr. Leslie B. Farrington was elected the first president of the new group.

Mr. Farrington stated that the Junior Association would have goals as follows:

"The Association will be interested in development of leadership among young men, and inculcation of the highest ideals of ethics. The junior association will bring together a group of men who have never been organized before and will give them opportunity for civic work such as they could not do alone.

All will be interested in one cause, principally to serve every movement which has as its roots in the progress and development of the community, and to demonstrate by actual practice the greater value of cooperation, as against individual effort in solving problems of common interest."

And so the Saint Paul Junior Chamber of Commerce was started some 75 years ago . . .
