This year, in order to avoid many of
the delays and annoyances which oper-
ators , jobbers and distributors have met
during recent years at these shows,
three official hotels have been named,
in addition to the Hotel Sherman, the
head quarters hotel. All within two
blocks of the She~an, the other three
hotels are the Bisma rck, LaSalle and
Morrison. All have a greed to furnish
between 2,000 and 3,000 rooms , which
will care for most of the visitors to the
1938 Show , and each has definitely
agreed, on all reserva tions accepted by
it, to have a room available on the date
of arrival for the person making the
reservation.
Forms to be used in requesting hotel
rooms were part of the advance regis-
tration blanks sent out by NACOMM . •

CHICAGO.-Hundreds of requests for
advance registration for the Tenih An-

the National Association of Coin Oper-
ated Machine Manufacturers, flooded
NACOMM offices the first week after
mailing of announcements, and requests
continue to come in at the rate of 100 or
more a day, according to report from
Secretary C . S. Darling.
Slated for the Hotel Sherman in Chi-
cago, January 17 to 20, 1938, practically
the same method of advance registration
as used last year is being practised this
year, with applications accepted and
filed without charge up to and including
January I, 1938. After that time, even
though qualifie d operators, those regis-
tering will be charged the r.egular fee
of $1 for a season badge.
A regulation registration application
form , providing for all information n e-
cessarv to establish the app1icant as a
bonafide operator, has been mailed out
to each man who has attended shows in
the past, and most jobbers have an ex-
tra supply of forms. Any operator, job-
ber or distributor who has failed to re-
ceive a blank or who requires extra
copies for others in his organization
