The program of the National Plywood Distributors Association's l6th annual convention, June 22-25, at Hotel del Coronado (San Diego, Calif.) will be a radical departure from usual trade association meetings, reports SecretaryTreasurer Mahlon S. Munson. This year the program features will be keyed to the state of the economy and speakers will accent sales stimulants, explaining proven techniques in increasing dollar volume, building higher unit sales, adding customers, moving slow items, selling specialties, introducing new products, building multiple sales, reviving dead accounts, collecting slow accounts, etc.

Also different from previous NPDA conventions will be the free exhibit space to be offered suppliers of merchandise and services to display their lines in informal exhibits.

Plans are well advanced by Fred Smales, U. S. Plywood

Co., Los Angeles, chairman of the Program committee, to make this meeting the most successful in NPDA history. The best-known speakers available will highlight this 16th NPDA annual, known as "Operation Profit-maker."
