Historical Note
The City Salesmen’s Club was founded in 1930 by H.T. “Ray” Castello. Castello wanted to improve the sales profession, and he envisioned an organization that would gather once a week to discuss ideas leading to better salesmanship. Castello intended for the individual salesman to benefit from the club, not his firm. The membership of the organization would consist of one individual from each industry and no more than two members could be on the payroll of the same company.
