New Yorker, April 6, 7 and 8th, in the Worlds’ Largest Market for
coin-operated machines and supplies is definitely assured. There can
be no doubt of that. I f the amount o f space already sold, and in
many inquiries received daily from manufacturers and operators is
any indication, the forthcoming convention will prove to be one of
the most informative and interesting events of the year. Approximately
half the space is already sold and the bookings for space have been
well in advance of reservations made at the same time last year, a
healthy indication that exhibitors have confidence in the officers and
management o f the convention. A few of the outstanding manu­
facturers who have already placed their reservations are the Advance
Machine Company, Chicago, 111.; International Mutoscope Reel Com­
pany, New York; Arthur H. DuGrenier, Inc., Haverhill, Mass.; Reliable
Peanut Company, New York; D. Robbins & Company, Brooklyn, N. Y.;
W olf Automatic Sales Company, New York, and there are many others.
Manufacturers, operators and hundreds of allied trades interested in
the coin-operating industry have not only promised but assured their
utmost co-operation.
Many machines never displayed or placed on the market before will
be shown here for the first time- new innovations- new designs- new
models in keeping with the ever increasing vogue for modernism will
flash their welcome and stimulate your interest.
A real enjoyable social program has been arranged- Come on to New

sensational and informative events o f the year. You can’t afford to
