The convention, which took place at the La Salle Hotel in Chicago June 27-29 (PW, June 23), “laid the foundation for a pro- gram of real service to Christian booksellers throughout the United States and Canada,” reports Don Norman, vice-president of the CBA and executive secretary of the Chicago Bible Society. Approximately 500 people, from all sections of the United States and Canada, were in attendance, and 66 pub- lishers and suppliers exhibited their latest lines. William F. Moore, Moody Press Book- stores, Chicago, was re-elected president. Other officers, in addition to Mr. Norman, are: Dale B. Johnson, Bible Book Center, South Bend, Indiana, secretary; and John Fish, Scripture Press, Chicago, treasurer.

Phillips, Gospel Bookstore, Greensboro, N.C.; Rev. Paul Miller, Paul’s, Grove City, Pa.; Louise Deimel, Western Book and Tract, Oakland, California; Pauline Ramseyer, Northern Bible Society, Duluth, Minn.; and Hugh Hull, Hull Publishing Company, Winnipeg, Canada. Publishers present organized an advisory council, with S. M. McKeon, W. H. Dietz & Co., serving as chairman, Wilbur Davies, Fleming H. Revell Co., vice-chairman, and Joe Herbert, National Bible Company, secre- tary.
