With Buyers' week only three weeks distant, the Chamber Of Commerce committee is being daily advised that merchants will be here in large num bers from Washington. Idaho and Ore gon. It is thought that the attendance for last year, which reached 500 at high tide, will be far surpassed and that purchases will approximate !,--0.000. The figure for 1914 was esti mated at 800.000. based on reports to the Chamber of Commerce on which refunds of cost of railroad tickets were made. The plan for refunding railroad fares is identical with that heretofore used, requiring the purchaser to take a receipt for the money and the vali dating of the- ticket at the bureau to be opened in the headquarters at the Chamber. Portland merchants who are participating in the refund agreement will certify each day the amount of purchases by each visitor, and when the total reaches 1500 an order for the refund will be made. On arrival at Portland the. visiting merchant will be asked to register im mediately at the headquarters for Buyers' week, where he will be sup plied with credentials and a coupon ticket of admission to all the enter tainments of the week. A second pres entation will be a list of the whole salers and Jobbing men who are par ticipating in the plan. Influence Extend Far. From every factory throughout the Northwest comes the. . encouragement that Buyers' week is stimulating the use of their products. The retailer from the interior finds the goods as sembled in the jobbing houses of Port land and he Is urged to give them a trial among his customers. The cus tomer is finding these products fully equal to those turned out by Eastern manufacturers, and consequently the influence of Buyers' week is extending backward to every farm that produces the raw materials. Committees appointed for the enter tainment of visitors plan to keep them M?,nda nlgbt a general re ception will be on at the Chamber of Commerce and an effort will be made to make out-of-town merchants ae- S-n,teWi,th the prtlad men who handle the lines they wish to investi gate. vJLl,, .n'ht 'in f,nd the "en as sembled at the Chamber.

Last vear this reature was one of the most popular events of the week. The visitors brought Ad Club-ers into touch with many communities on which their in formation was meager. Theater Parties Wednesday. Wednesday night visitors will be taken to the Empress Theater for the first show and to Pantages for the second show. Both theaters will re serve seats for the use of these visitors. The luncheon to be given at the Log Cabin Bakery on Thursday will be served by the management of that in stitution, but many of the items on the bill or fare will come from other fac tories of the city. Thursday night the coupon tickets will carry everybody out to The Oaks, admit them to the grounds and to many of the leading concessions. Friday night a big banquet will be served at the Chamber of Commerce, and for that occasion some of the best orators of the state will be heard. The week of Jollity and business will come to a close on Saturday with an auto ride over the city. A. C. Black is lending his expert knowledge In . arranging entertain ments, and A. H. Devers and F. A. Spencer are looking after the speakers. Portland merchants- are supplement ing the circular letters of invitation by sending personal letters. The Chamber has a supply of inserts ready to be furnished to any merchants. They can be Inclosed with any correspond ence going out of the city.
