Some information about the Chicago Executives' Club:
Established before World War I, The Executives’ Club of Chicago has witnessed this Midwest city’s rise as a magnet for global businesses over the past 100+ years. Today, members acknowledge The Club as one of America’s top business forums
1911—1939
Distinguished by its sandy brick facade and the elegant white mantle of its top floors, the Hotel Sherman stood on the site that now holds the Thompson Center. Throughout the 1910s and roaring ‘20s, the hotel was one of Chicago's premier nightspots. While the live jazz played there wafted through its College Inn restaurant and attracted celebrities, tourists, and members of high society in the evenings, it was during the day that members of The Executives’ Club met each week in a small banquet room.
In its early years, The Club’s core members discussed among themselves the affairs of the day and the business impact. In sharing their experiences, they sought ways to learn from one another and work with each other on the business front. Perhaps they discussed new ventures that could benefit from the success of Chicago’s retail companies, or examined the strategies that enabled utilities magnate Samuel Insull, through his leadership of Commonwealth Edison, to expand the company’s hold on electric power in the Midwest.
Like many other Chicagoans, their attention in 1914 surely turned to how the U.S. decision to enter World War I in support of Great Britain, France, and Russia affected the city. With many of the area’s young men sent overseas after training at Fort Sheridan and the Great Lakes Naval Training Center north of the city, employment opportunities emerged for women and African- Americans. The Great Migration of African-Americans from the South to industrial cities like Chicago continued after the war ended in 1918.
