deplorable in the past to have the industry broken up into three
groups holding three different shows. It would be a shame to foist
anything like that on the trade at a time such as this.
Mr. Huber has agreed to give his services free, and the profits
of the show will not go to paying secretaries, but will be given
back to operators in the form of a free banquet. Each manufac
turer will be given a certain number of banquet tickets with his
space. These he will hand to the operators when they make a pur
chase. There will be no button-holing visitors to take a member
ship in some unknown organization, nor will they be harangued to
buy banquet tickets.
The largest Exposition in the history of the industry was
held two years ago at the Sherman Hotel. At that time there were
103 exhibitors. W e expect an equal number this year, as the A u t o
m a t ic A ge has been besieged by letters lately asking where the
Exposition will be held and when it will be announced. We earn
estly urge all the manufacturers who expect to exhibit to send their
reservations to Mr. Huber at once with a check for 25 per cent of
the amount.
Excessive charge for booths has been eliminated along with
the profits made by individuals from shows in past years.
See next page for floor plan and information on exhibit space.
He Sells the Space

This presents the chap who will
have charge of selling the space,
Joe Huber. He is already well and
favorably known in the trade for
the unprecedented record he has
made in building up the big scale
business of the Rockola Mfg. Co.,
in so short a period of time. He
is one of the outstanding sales
managers of the industry and is a
“horse” for work. They say he
can do more work in a day than
any two men on the average. Mr.
Huber volunteered to handle the
details of allotting the space with
out pay because he was sold on the
idea that we could use the surplus
money to give the boys a good time,
instead of paying a thousand dol
lars apiece to three different con
vention managers. He is working
hard to have the biggest crowd of
operators together that we ever
had.
