And I assure you this will be not only one of the best, but also one of the most important conventions we have ever held.

Considerable i rur"n"" leen given to se' lecting a theme for this year's convention, one that includes all segments of our mem' bership and one that can be most mean' ing{ul to everyone. The o'winner" is Make It Creat in'68!

You can make it great in '68 by partakine of the tremendous amount of information that will be dispensed at the Sahara Tahoe-along with a few jackpots, we hope.

You can Make it Greater than ever in '68 if you really set your mind and effort to it. Indications are the market will con' tinue good this year and you can get a bigger share if you really go after it. In fact, our convention speakers will tell you what's going on and how to become more involved.

LMA's annual conventions have been taking on more importance with each year. They provide an excellent opportunity to socialize with fellow dealers and industry leaders, and at the same time bring you a wealth of new ideas which can be readily incorporated in your business, regardless of the size or the market area.

This year we plan to stress the market situation in northern California what it is today, what it will be tomorrow, how it will change and how you can do a better job of merchandising your products and sert,ices. It won't be "pie in the sky," but bread and butter on the table.
