History.
NOTE: The club's official records were destroyed in a 1947 house fire, and surviving reports are sometimes inconclusive on actual dates. Where the year is in doubt, the month is marked with a *; where the month is in doubt, it is marked with a ?. Membership figures for most years are based on names in the official roster, usually issued in December, and history shows that others join the club after the roster is published, so the actual numbers are probably higher than shown.
1911-12: “The Advertising Club” was formed with less than a dozen members and met weekly for lunch. H. Glen Stibbs of Lowe Brothers was elected its first president.
1912-13: Little change in membership, and the meeting frequency remained the same. William H. Wonfor of Egry Register was chosen as president for the club year.
1913-15: R. W. Sullivan of Lowe Brothers served as president for two years. Some membership growth as the club's reputation spread. Meetings still weekly.
1915-16: An old photograph shows 63 men (members?) gathered in 1915 in an “Army vs. Navy” competition to see who could recruit the most new club members. The club president that year was H. M. Huffman of Davis Sewing Machine Co.
1916-17: B. B. Geyer of the Geyer-Dayton Co. ad agency served as president.
1917-18: Howard F. Marston of Mercantile Corporation was elected president.
1918-19: Club was inactive but not disbanded because of World War I. Hugo Wagensiel, whose job application was spurned by Geyer, starts his own agency in 1918.
1920-21: The Advertising Club was reactivated and began a post-war growth spurt. John M. Graham is the third Lowe Brothers executive to serve as president. Still meeting weekly for lunch and group discussion.
1921-22: Geyer-Dayton's Andrew W. Neally becomes president. WDBS (later to become WING) goes on the air as Dayton's first radio station.

1928-29: E. P. Corbett of NCR is club president.
1929-30: J. Horace Lytle serves his second term as club president. The Great Depression hits, and many advertising people lose their jobs. For the second time the club becomes inactive but does not disband. No meetings are held for a brief time.

1939-40: Leonard Rausch, Jr. of Gilbert-Baker-Midlam takes over as president and changes the club name to the Dayton Advertising Club. Membership drive launched to expand the club to 15 people so meetings could be held in the more private Gold Room of the YMCA.
