skilled and enthusiastic a staff as can be found in America, men and women solidly experienced in both hotel and convention operations.

People meeting at the Las Vegas Hilton meet well-and they live well. There are 1,519 spacious rooms and suites to greet you, all equipped with air conditioning, oversized beds, remote control color TV, radio, and a host of other special comforts.

For dining, the Hilton offers an enchanting corps of international restaurants featuring the far-away world flavors of Bavaria, Italy, Japan, and an incredibly popular International Steak House-in addition to a large bright 24-hour cafe and the world's fastest room service.

How about outdoor recreation? The Hilton has that, too, in the biggest possible way! A magnificent 81½ acre outdoor recreation deck, complete with swimming, tennis, squash, handball and all the sun-drenched sports, awaits you.

So start making your advance plans now to attend the 174 MCAA Convention and Educational Trade Show in the Las Vegas Hilton, February 24-28. In addition to a fine slate of speakers, one of the outstanding attractions will be the always popular Material Handling Jamboree with live demonstrations of virtually every type of construction material handling equipment produced by the nation's leading manufacturers.

The Las Vegas Hilton's convention facilities, with a total of 75,000 pillar-free square feet available for exhibits and gatherings, can accommodate more than 8,000 persons at a single reception or serve over 5,000 people at a banquet.

And there will be an exciting Ladies Program, too. Take along your wife and you'll both enjoy a memorable mini-vacation while you combine the trip with learning about the latest industry developments during the Convention Business Sessions. Mark February 24-28, 1974 in your special appointment book Now!


What To Wear In Las Vegas
Las Vegas is one city where people don't have to worry about conventional dress standards. The rule is: If it fits and if it suits the climate, wear it! Mini, maxi or mod, this neon-flashing city is the great escape-hatch for those who have been inhibited by conservative styles and now may want to really cut loose.

The important thing to keep in mind on a trip to Las Vegas is the time of year during which you will visit. Winter is snowless and usually arrives in November, leaving in late February, the time of the MCAA Convention. Daytime readings are between 50 and 60; while nighttime lows will sometimes dip to 30 and below. It's nippy, and a coat is advisable, but the low humidity keeps the weather from becoming bone-chilling. (Summer is hot! In early June, the mercury rises to above 100 degrees and usually stays there until mid-September.)

So generally speaking, you should plan your wardrobe to be comfortable and in keeping with the weather conditions. Of course, for the showrooms you'll want to bring appropriate evening attire. But for the remainder of your visit, favorite slacks and sport shirts will serve nicely for the guys, while slacks and casual dresses will adequately outfit the ladies.

A man visited the doctor, worrying about his heart. "Do you smoke much?" inquired the doctor. "About 15 cigars a day," the man replied. "You'll have to cut down," the doctor replied. "It will be hard, but try to be satisfied with one cigar after each meal." A few weeks later the man returned for a checkup. The doctor complimented him on the improvement of his health. "You see that's what happens when patients follow their doctors' orders." "Well, it isn't always easy to do," said the patient. "Sometimes it's hard to cat 15 meals a day."
