Marketplace

Issue: 1975 April 30

This was the "First Annual Reunion" of Metropolitan
New York City's old timers at the Sky Lake Country .
Clu~ in North Miami Beach, Florida, on March 14,'75.
Some of these men hadn't seen each other in over 30
years. These pictures are absolutely historical, for
it was these men who brought boom times to the indus-
try and thru adverse conditions in years gone by. It
was these men who made New York City the most out-
standing operating area in the history of this indus-
try. Some are retired in the Miami, Fla., area but,
just about half of these men, have continued active
in the industry. It was a luncheon none will ever
forget. It has resulted in an organization being born
that will take over for the next luncheon to be held
in the Miami area in February, 1976.

Attention:
Mr. Bill Gersh
Dear Bill:
I have been in the business twenty-nine years. I've known
you and read a lot of your publications, but the one in
February 28th issue on Jae Kline really touched my heart.
I really want to say "Amen" loud and clear for men like
Joe Kline, Paul Huebsch, Joe Munves, Ralph Hoskin, Roy McGinnis,
Vince Shay, and hundreds of others who advised and helped
me aver some of the huddles. They are the kind of people
you enjoy doing business with because you can trust and
depend an them. While we are handing out bouquets, let's
throw one ta same of the younger men today like Murff Gardon,
Wilson Bracey, Jack Pearson, Charlie Fite, and lats lots
more that are working ta improve this industry. There are
a whole heap of swell guys in this business and a few dogs.

Bill your pictorial history sure brings back memories. I
will be sending you same pictures of my new building and
also advise an haw I do with the new German Wurlitzer
Phonograph. I just got them in today and plan a showing
with pictures, etc. in about two weeks •
Bill, one request if you can, I need the address and phone
number of Jack Davidson, Brooklyn, N.V., please.
Thank you
kindl~
