Ya'all Gome!

When we were asked to co-sponsor the Material Handling, Storage & Delivery ShowWithin-a-Show in Dallas, Tx., February 13-15, we jum@ at the chance.

Part of the Home Center Show's new Building, Remodeling & Decor Products Expo, it provides dealers and wholesalers with an unprecedented chance 0o see and compare a wide variety of products and systems within this category.

A special feature of our exhibit area is a demonstration area where you'll be able to see various products in action and learn how they work. It's a chance to see machines in operation that can be a major asset to the smooth running of your business. Right in the exhibit area you'll discover what a certain piece of equipment can and cannot do.

In addition to the demonsmdon area, the show also will have an educational seminar to cover various aspecB of majm equipment. Discussion will revolve around topics such as ownership versus leasrng and various maintenance programs as they affect retail and wholesale users. The seminar will be Sunday, Febnrary 13, ftom 8:30-9:45 am. No special pass or ticket is needed. Your admission to the mein show admits you to both the seminar and the Material }landling, Storage and Delivery Show. Irs entrance is within the main show.

This is the last year the Home Center Show name will be used. Next year it will carry only the Building, Remodeling & Decor Products' narne. Show sponsor Vance Publishing recognizes that dealers sell home oenter consumer customers as well as builders, remodelers, contractoni and the like. The longer, more inclusive name makes sense. We just call it the BRD Show and let it go at that

We're excited about being a part of the 1994 BRD Show. It gives us a:n opporurnity to help our readers in a concrete way by providing a forum for a hands-on check out of the latest in material handling and related products. We'll be in booth 933. Please stop by and say hello. We'd like to see you.
