A total of 750 merchants bought more than $500 worth of goods 'each last week from Portland jobbers and manufac turers.

Many of the visiting buyers bought goods valued at thousands of dollars, and every! one of -the "j 1400 registrants purchased some goods. I From this basis the committee members estimate that the value of goods purchased during the last week must amount to about 91,500, 000. ' - - i ' The bringing of this ! vast amount of money into the city , was a sufficient guarantee of the success of the eighth annual gathering of buyers. In addi tion to this, there were a number of other phases which made the gathering worth while. - i Of the 1400 visitors at least 1000 were from states outside the Northwestern group of Oregon, Washington and Idaho. Each of these visitors learned some thing new of the beauties of the Oregon country, f of the industrial , growth of Portland and of the rapidity with which this city is developing .as the trading center of the Pacific coast., Borne of the buyers . traveled long-distances. There were representatives here from Alaska, .from two provinces of Canada and from 14 states west of the Mississippi, -river.

The visitors were pleased with the hospitality shown them and declare theyj have found new thoughts to, -carry bacic to their friends. Some have decided to bring their fam ilies here for their vacations this fall, others are impressed with the trading opportunities presented here and have announced their Intentions of coming back soon to look over the field. Committeemen agree that the 1920 convention of buyers has been the most successful of any pf the 'gatherings held in Portland...
