| 1968 Program for the National Bicycle Dealers Ass`n (NBDA) 22nd Annual Convention and Bicycle Show |
|---|
|
| The National Bicycle Dealers Association (NBDA) is an organization of bicycle store owners. In the past years the NBDA organized and promoted a Convention where distributors and manufacturers would display their products and hundreds of bicycle store owners and employees would attend to see the latest items and order merchandise. It was always beneficial to have face-to-face meetings between the customers (dealers) and suppliers (distributors & manufacturers). This is the 12-page program for the 22nd Annual National Bicycle Show which was held at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles. The last page (outside back cover) contains a photo of some of the Los Angeles area Distributor executives including; Howie & Leo Jr. Cohen (West Coast Cycle), Phil & Pete Mole (John T. Bill Co.), Rudy Seidler (United Import Sales), Bill Ellis (Harry Wilson Sales), Bart Ralston, Hank Smith, Ken Reaume (State Distributors), and William (Bill) Flannelly (Schwinn Bicycle Co.). The image shown here is page-1 the outside front cover. See the picture gallery for the other 11 pages. Bike industry old timer & friend Pete Mole kindly sent me this program from his collection.| Picture Gallery for this Item (click images to enlarge) |
