This block proves Glu-Onts adhesive power and versatility! WRLA's 63rd
HEN WRLA SAID this year's convention would be bigger and better than ever before, it was no idle statement designed to lure the unwary. The fact is, it turned out to be the gospel.
It seems that this 63rd annual 'Western Exposition staged by Western Retail Lum' bermans Association turned out to be something of a record-setter.
A record number of registrants and a record number of exhibitors made this ex' position the association's best ever and the object of a number of compliments for both organization and oPeration'
More than 2,200 registered in Portland's massive new Memorial Coliseum for entry and a look at the more than 125 exhibits. Some of the displays were so comprehensive that they used two, three, even eight show stands.

Ray's father had also been president of WRLA, which has 400 regular members and more than 50 associate members. The group covers Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Alaska. Jim Hayes of Boise, Idaho, was named first vice president and Homer Greer of Sunnyside, Washington, is the new second vice president.
"A Circus o{ Ideas" was the convention theme and when Ray Blackstock cut the ribbon and led in a baby elephant to the accompaniment of a brass band, streamers flying, it was like being back in the center ring at Barnum & Bailey's.
