The many fine exhibits were supplemented by two outstanding displays of masonry craftsmanship. They were the exhibits of the National Concrete Masonry Association and the Bricklayers, Masons & Plasterers International Union of America. It is indeed a tribute to the B.M. & P.I.U. when the hotel management requested that their display remain and become a permanent part of the hotel property. All conventions from now on at the Marriott will be greeted by the excellently designed and skillfully executed brick patio area. It was built by members of Local #8 under the guidance of MCAA Member David Lyle.

Let AA solve your special wire problems.
Manufactured in Chicago, Dallas and Ontario, Canada.
