The meeting was held at the Mesquite Convention Center.  By 9 AM the Mart room was crammed with buyers, sellers and traders. All one could see was a mass of bodies "playing clocks and watches." For the educational, Richard Cox, Irving, TX, demonstrated "Dial Silvering." An eager crowd gathered to listen and learn. The photographer finally corralled three "workers"—Gene Meysenburg, Dallas, Jimmy Barker, Grand Prairie, and Al Kulakoff, Ft. Worth. Folk were so busy it was hard, otherwise, to find faces and spaces to picture.
