The Greatest of All Coin-Machine

Expositions Planned For Detroit
The annual exposition o f the Coin
Machine Operators’ Association will
be held in Detroit at the time o f the
convention— Febi-uary 24, 25, 26, 27,
1929. The exposition this year will
be held in the exposition room o f the
Statler Hotel. This hotel furnishes
an ideal situation fo r a combined
convention and exposition o f this
size. It will be noted from the floor
plat on the opposite page that the
exhibition hall will hold about fifty
10x10 booths. It is located on the
second floor, which makes it easily
accessible by stairway when the ele
vators are crowded. Just off the el
evators is an assembly lobby where
the crowds may gather outside the
exhibition hall and the convention
room. Both the exhibition hall and
the convention room are beautifully
lighted and decorated and with the
booths painted a harmonious color,
will present a striking appearance.
Everything is on one floor so that
the crowd can be kept intact.
The exhibition hall can be cleared
quickly fo r the meetings and as soon
a:; they are over the crowd can empty
back into the exhibition hall through
two big entrances from the meeting
room.
The Hotel Statler is not a high-
priced hotel; neither is it, by any
means, a cheap hotel. The splendid
reputation o f the Statler chain of
hotels is well known; besides, it is
the most centrally located hotel in
Detroit.
The exhibit space will be sold to
manufacturers at a minimum cost
and the price includes complete
booths, sign, and all furniture equip
ment consisting o f two wicker tables,
one wicker settee, one wicker chair
and one costumer. I f the exhibitor
