as well as the first women's traffic club recongized by the Associated Traffic Clubs of America. The objective of the club
was " to study and discuss transporation matters: to foster co-operation and better understanding between shippers and carriers"
with a "purpose of attaining a greater degree of knowledge on traffic matters, through the exhange of ideas and experiences
and by affording an opportunity for the hearing of those of authority on the subject"
