Be A Winner!
Attend the '74 MCAA Convention & Show
February 24-28 Las Vegas Hilton

The '74 MCAA Educational Trade Show during the Annual Convention in February promises to be the largest ever with more than 140 displays at the huge Las Vegas Hilton Convention Center.

The accompanying Material Handling Jamboree-absent since the 1971 meeting in Houston-is being revived and should be the biggest such demonstration on record, thanks to the exceptional facilities at the Hilton.

An entire session will be set aside to demonstrate the most advanced developments in the material handling field by many of the nation's top equipment manufacturers. Equipment to be featured runs the full gamut-from the smallest hand cart to the largest machinery-to permit mason contractors to personally evaluate their performances and obtain whatever additional information they may need to suit their own job requirements.

The Material Handling Committee, under the Chairmanship of Allen Knuth, has already held several planning sessions, and committee members have made field trips to Las Vegas to inspect the layout and support facilities.

Convention Chairman James Carollo of Las Vegas has been meeting regularly with his committee for preliminary discussions centering on all phases of the Convention, slated for February 24-28. He reminds MCAA members of the change in arrival schedules which was necessitated by the Convention being held in Las Vegas one of the world's most frequented and busiest cities. (Please turn page)
