assessment against his property on East
Sixteenth street, in Sellwood, where a
street paving job was recently com

chants who registered from - West
ern States for Buyers"! week in Port
land the : last few ' days, made pur
chases aggregating totals sufficient
to guarantee the payment - of their
traveling Hexpenses to this city, ac
cording to final records compiled by
the buyers week committee Satur
day afternoon. ,y: ' -' - :v'X.
A total of 750 merchants bought more
than $500 worth of goods 'each last week
from Portland jobbers and manufac
turers. This total alone would make
for a minimum of $375,000 worth of
goods purchased last week. .
flOMOO ! IX GOODS' SOLD .
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.
MAST STATES KEPItESEJf TED
One of tne buyers I came from St.
Louis, another came from Independence,
Kas., and still a third; came from Ari
zona. The states of Wyoming, Colorado,
Utah and Montana were well represent
ed and -unusually large' numbers of buy
ers came from California.
Entertainment features of the week
were a success throughout. 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... Seattle and Spokane held
Buyers weeks last week, but - neither
could report results so favorable as those
reported from this city. . -" : -
