Tlvroe hundred ssJesmen. at a con
servative estimate, are waiting In Port,
land to swoop down upon the retailers
of Oregon and Washington soon after
tbe first of tbe year with tbalr new
Fprlog offerings.
The assemblsge of this small army in
Portland for 1 days bas been no small
source of profit to tbe hotels of the
city. Tbe salesmen are awaiting tbe
arrival of new samples and new styles
from their Eastern bouses.
Step Into any bote! any time of tbe
day and find a group of these travelers
discussing their new wares. Tbey will
tell you of tbe new models and new
goods. Seveo cloak and suit men were
leathered In the Oregon Hotel at one
time yesterday. They declared white
would be all lha rage thla yaar a pop
ularity, perhaps, forced by the shortage
of dyes. They confirm the woolen mill
man a announcements tbal blacks,
whites and grays will supersede bright
colors. They attribute tbe change to
-style," If they're talking to customers,
for -style" sounds more alluring than
compulsion.
Soma will tell you tbat skirts will
be evea shorter this year tbat the tops
of blgb shoes must show. Coats may
be full S Inches, though ault coats
may be aborter than usual, say J to
II Inches. This Is only what soma of
tbam aay. and besides, they admit, ths
nublla often does not agree.
Fur trimmings ara said to ba all off.
although . many "sport- coats .and
bolted backs mar remain.
Clothing salesman are not tbe only
ones here. One Portland hardware
firm aJons baa 10 talesmen waiting for
the word to go with the opening of tbe
new eeaeon. There ara grocerymen
galore, and scores of others.
