NAHB Convention Jqnuory 20-24

A dramatic presentation of new trends, new rrrethods and new products will kick-off the 1957 home building season, January 2(124,in Chicago. This will be the National Association of Home Builders' 13th annual ConventionExposition and a full-house attendance of more than 30,000 is predicted. The facilities of three convention centers, the Conrad Hilton and Sherman hotels and the Chicago Coliseum, r,vill be used to accommodate a total of more than 775 exhibit spaces.

Several of the stand-out displays of new and improved products at the annual builder's shorv will be the result of' cooperative efforts among competitive manufacturers. The perimeter of the Coliseum exhibit hall will be lined with displays of power tools, grouped together for easy "comparison shopping." Exhibits of mechanized equipment -tractors, trailers, and self-propelled light construction equipment and attachments, will be grouped nearby.

Lumber and millwork-the backbone of the industry -will be displayed in the Sherman hotel. These displ,ays are being grouped througlr' the coordinated efforts of the Ponderosa Pine Woodwork Association and associated members and companies.

NAHB's famous "how-to-do-it circus." an odds-on favorite at NAHB conventions, will be held on the morning of the convention's closing day, Thursday, January 24. Simultaneous demonstrations will show the best application techniques for various products widely u.sed in the home building industry.

Convention program activities will run the gamut from financing through community facilities; shop talks, panel discussions and addresses on such vitally important subjects as the financial outlook, taxes, management methods and merchandising. The sessions rvill bring together leading figures from business. government :rncl industry rvith NAHB leaders. Problems of the "l to 20" builder u'ill hc highlighted in special program features.

Exhibits rvill be open until l0 p.m. on opening Sunday. s,r that delegates who will be participzrting in meetings and program sessions during the latter part of the convention rvill have ample opportunity to tour the exposition areas.
