Recently, someone asked about a Commercial Travellers association and I have just came across the following which might help someone. Irish News January 19 1920: In this issue, there was an article about the 17th Annual General Meeting of the United Kingdom Commercial Travellers Association, held in the Central Hall, Rosemary Street, Belfast on Saturday 17th 1920. The membership had increased to 363 members and the new officers for 1920 were as follows: Chairman, Mr John Campbell; vice-chairman, Mr James.V.Gosney; treasurer, Mr A.Lee Richardson; secretary, Mr Jas.A.
