,v % * Fred Case Editorial Department San Jose Mercury-News San Jose, California - Phone 289-5i4-12 (after 3.30 p.m.) Dear Mr. Freeman: The working press of San Jose will present in May their celebrated Gridiron Dinner, the undisputed highlight of the city's social calendar. Our Gridiron Dinner is modeled on the Washington Press Club event, and it draws key politicians, businessmen and miscellaneous leaders from a wide area to watch themselves lampooned and lambasted. Each of the 500 top-drawer invited guests will have a gbssy magazine-type pumorous program to refer to throughout the evening. Most take it home later to chuckle over with friends. Past and present advertisers include John F. Kennedy, Governor Brown, Barry Goldwater, President Johnson, and blue chip industries including Ford, Lockheed, American Airlines, Falstaff brewing and FMC. Will you join us in the program? It's a shrewd investment in one-million-strong Santa Clara County. Your ad will be read by prosperous potential clients in a uniquely receptive atmosphere of conviviality.and good fellowship. They are the kind of people who come to Las Vegas with money to spend. Your ad also introduces youy or reintroduces you, to the working press of the San Jose Metropolitan Area.
