Women's Advertising Club of Saint Louis (Saint Louis, Missouri).
Records, 1938-1972; 1979. 2 boxes
The Women's Advertising Club of St. Louis, an association of women working in advertising
and publicity, affiliated with the Advertising Federation of America, was founded in 1916. In
1935, they began a tradition for which they became noted: the annual Gridiron Dinner. At first it
coincided with that of the Men's Advertising Club, but later they changed the date. The dinner
was for women only and skits were performed lampooning politics, advertising, fashions, current
events, and people in the news in all walks of life. Mayor Darst of St Louis paid the club an
honor in 1952 by proclaiming the Women's Advertising Club Gridiron Week. The group donated
proceeds of the dinners to charities and funded scholarships for women to the journalism school
of the University of Missouri. They also gave a course, “Careers in Advertising,” to high school
students. This collection contains scripts of the annual Gridiron Dinner, 1938-1952, 1954-1957;
1979; text of radio interview, March 20, 1954; newsclippings; invitations; publicity; and
programs relating to the club, 1971-1972.
