Scope and content
300 delegates from the dairy industry met for three days starting November 13, 1946, in Tacoma at the Hotel Winthrop. This was the 7th annual joint convention of the Washington State Milk Dealers Association, the Washington State Ice Cream Manufacturers Association, and the Washington Creamery Operators' Association. Delegates were expected from Washington, California, Oregon, Idaho, and Canada. Although there were many serious presentations on current dairy problems, at least one speaker attempted to entertain as well as educate his audience. Larry Livingston, from the duPont Chemical C., demonstrated some of the newest products from the wonder world of plastics. Among the wonders that he showed were crystal clear slippers made from lucite, and nylon dishes that "won't breat when you throw them at your wife." (T.Times, 11/14/1946, p.14)
