OPEN LETTER TO THE COIN-OPERATED MUSIC AND AMUSEMENT INDUSTRY

The forthcoming Exposition is not called the ALL NEW EXPO '72 for nothing. In fact, we believe that it will usher in a new era of better MOA trade shows.

First, and very important, the Exposition is being moved to one of the finest convention hotels in the country -- the Conrad Hilton Hotel in Chicago. This alone has excited the interest of the industry.

For the first time, all exhibits will be set up in one big exhibit hall. All segments of the industry will be represented: phonograph manufacturers, record companies, amusement machines manufacturers, allied industries -- and this means representation from top firms.

The Exposition will open Thursday morning, September 14. There will be a Ladies Luncheon and Program at Noon and an All In- dustry Seminar in the late afternoon. Hospitality Suites will be open in the evening. Exhibit hours are 9:00 A.M. to 3:00 P.M.

On Friday, the second day, there will be a General Member- ship meeting and luncheon at 11:30 A.M. Hospitality Suites will be open in the evening. Exhibit hours are 10:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M.

The Gala Banquet and Show will be held in the Grand Ball- room on Saturday night, with a new arrangement of the stage so that everyone will be closer to the action. Exhibit hours are 10:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M.

If you want to know what's new, if you want to know what's going on, if you want to have a wonderful time, then don't miss the ALL NEW EXPO '72!
