In 1929, the Board of Trade became a
corporation and was rebranded as the Smiths
Falls Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber had
37 individual members at this time. 1939 saw
fees reduced from $5 to $3, and memberships
began to be held in the name of the business
rather than the individual. The first businesses
mentioned in the Chamber of Commerce roster
were the Royal Bank of Canada, T. Eaton Co,
R.A. Beamish Stores, The Record News and A & P.
