| Gil Mellé at the 1960 HIAA trade show; RMC Apr '60 |
The April 1960 issue of Railroad Model Craftsman contains a report on the 1960 Hobby Industry Association of America trade show held in Chicago during February of that year. The article notes that Gil Mellé was there with his company, Industrial Model Works (IMW):
Industrial Model Works' Gil Mille [sic] takes a breather. IMW released 19 new items at the show including old time structures and styrene building material.
Prior to seeing this note I had thought IMW was more-or-less a garage manufacturer, but having a booth at America's premier hobby industry trade show seems to suggest much higher aspirations.
