DAYTON, O., Friday -- The Miami Valley Distributing
Co., this city, distributor of products manufactured by the Crosley
Division, Avco Manufacturing Corp., has announced the opening of
"the room of knowledge," a new display and sales training room
believed to be unique in distributor operations.
The opening of the new room,
located in the Miami Valley Distributing Co.'s spacious quarters here,
was celebrated by a two-day open house, attended by 375 dealers and
their sales forces. A feature of open house activities was the display
of the current television receivers, as well as other Crosley products.

we will assist them in making the arrangements." The room also will
be made available to various associations in Dayton such as the Radio
Repairmen's Association, the Refrigeration Repairmen's Association, or
the Gas and Electric League.
The room is so arranged that
