A. Do-lr-Yourself Show

July 18-28 has been set for the 5th annual Los Angeles Do-It-Yourself Show, according to Ted Bentley, producer of the exposition. Largest show of its type in the nation in both exhibits and attendance, the show will again be held at the Pan Pacific Auditorium, located in the heart of the giant Southern California marketing area.

"Southern California is the heart of the nation's do-ityourself activity and with the continuous increase in population and building boom, we feel the 1957 show will be by far our best," Bentley stated.

For the first time in the show's history, a foor plan has been devised whereby almost two-thirds of the exhibitors will have a corner location.

Almost 200,000 people attended last year's show, which included such, veteran exhibitors as U.S. Plywood, Hull Bros. Lumber and Blanchard Lumber.

Show offices are located at 1022 So. La Cienega Blvd. in Los Angeles.

From all indications, advance registrations for the 17th annual convention of the Lumber Merchants Association of Northern California point to a record attendance, according to Jack Pomeroy and Claire Zimmerman at LMA's San Francisco headquarters. Considerable dealer enthusiasm in the LMA annual has been generated in recent years because Northern California dealers have come to find these annual get-togethers highly beneficial in helping them manage their businesses more efficiently, more profitably, in the face of ever-growing competition and rising costs of doing business.

This year's LMAnnual, which will be held April 7-9 at the beautiful Ahwahnee hotel in Yosemite National Park, will feature one of the best programs ever staged by the hardhitting northern dealers. Outstanding speakers, each an expert in his field, will be on hand to give LMA members the benefit of years of experience in busiiress management, economics, maintaining good government, merchandising, advertising and selling. In addition, the Association will again stage its highly successful LMA Workshop-a 3-hour period in which members may exchange ideas and techniques useful in increasing the general profits of their operations.

Lighter activities will include the annual LMA golf tournament, several bus tours of Yosemite Valley, two industrysponsored cocktail parties, evening entertainment and dancing.

Last-minute reservations may still be obtained by contacting LMA headquarters at 24 Calif.ornia St., San Francisco, or phoning YUkon 6-3705.
