Ample opportunity will be given during the after-
noons of convention week for visiting the exhibits of
musical instruments at the Drake Hotel and also for
visits to the radio show, which will be held during the
same week at the Stevens, Blackstone and Congress

Arrangements have been completed with the vari-

particular care ?n purchasing their going tickets to
ask for a CERTIFICATE, not a receipt, although

ent tie the holder to one-half of the railway fare

R C A PLANS FOR SHOW

casting Company and associated stations. The super-
program will be presented on the evening of June 5
from Chicago during the fifth annual convention and
trade show of the R. M. A.
Outstanding celebrities of the stage, operatic world
and famous musical organizations will appear on the
program to be broadcast from the annual banquet
at the Stevens Hotel, on a coast to coast hookup
through the courtesy of the National Broadcasting
Company and its associated stations. The program
is planned to be a superlative air event of 1929.
Radio industry leaders, from the manufacturing,
broadcasting and distributing fields, including nearly
25,000 jobbers and dealers, are expected to assemble
