r WJEDNESPAY, "AUGUST 2,1, 1922. THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, : PORTLAND;'1 OREGON. 15 2000 EXPECTED TO ATTEND 1922 BUYERS' WEEK Mors thxn 800 out-6f-toim merchants, Mm of thstn from as far North aa Alaska, some from as' fH south as Southern California and others from tb East and Middle j West, have al ready notified Buyers' week officials ti their intention o attending the Tenth Annual Buyers' week, beginning here Monday morning and lasting until J Saturday afternoon, j '33. N. Weinbaum. director in charge, today estimated that at least 2000 buy er will attend. Last year therV were t$00 registered. t This steady and healthy increase from year to year is a testimonial to Portland's importance as a jobbing cen ter that no criticism born of Jealousy can gainsay, the directors point out. Portland has an enormous Jobbing ter ritory, taking - in 2o,000 square miles "with virtually no serious competition. This territory includes Southwestern Washington. . south of Olympia, and rtms east to Spokane, thence to "Great 'r Falls. Mont., then down to Pocatello, Idaho, and extends into California on the south. , BECOMES IMPOBT-alTT : The custom was started a number of years ago of holding an annual Buy ers' week, when the retailers in this immense empire would have a chance to com to their jobbing center, go through the industries: and wholesale and retail houses and in general "get a line" on what goods are available and how these gooods are manufactured. Better feeling would: exist between the Jobber and the retailer as a result cf this contract, and each would under- ! stand the problem- of the other better, it was thought, and proven. Gradually the "annual week has become of more and more importance. -.Entertainment has been happiiy wedded to business, ' ' that the week is in the nature of a gay holiday for the visitors in the city. This year more than ever before ex tensive plans for entertainment as well as business have been worked out, and there will be no idleness for the buyers while they are here. . FOLLOW StTIT t Tsince Portland started Buyers" week, other coaat cities have followed her example, but none has had the signal success scored by her. Much buying in done by the visitors for their stores during the .week., but this is not the primary purpose of the event, the di rectors say. Business housg of the -city feel that if the retailers learn what Portland has to offer, they will buy here, whether now or later. . However, as a fair exchange and to N encourage business, the directors have I decided to follow the custom of previ ous years and refund to one buyer roundtrio railroad fare from each firm : making purchases that amount to $500 or more. The refund will be oasea on the one and one-third fare allowed Dy the railroads. This mileaga will be al lowed to thosa who come by automobile or post, just the same as though they had come .by train.

WomenGuests to BeFavored ? w t t j t n , .? s s Will Make'Fuss' OverLadies On the theory that women are as Important as men, and "probably a darned sight Iroportantr," the wives and daughters of merchants as well as women merchants themselves will have a big fuss made over them during Buyers' week. From a purely practical standpoint, let alone a standpoint of courtesy, the committees fn charge have admitted that most merchants take their wives' advice as to what to do and what not to do by arranging practically every event with a view to entertaining and pleasing the womenfolk as well as the men. In the first place, a committee that will have nothing to do but look out for the women has been appointed as follows: Mrs. H. E. Judge. Mrs. W. D. McWaters. Mrs. W. J. Ball. Mrs. Paul DeHaas, Mrs. S. Mason Ehrman. Mrs. J. D. Kenworthy and Mra E. N. Wein baum.. TO GIVE GREETINGS When the" buyers and their wives and daughters srrive Monday morning and report at headquarters to register, members of the committee and their helpers will be on hand to furnish information, extend greetings and tell what's to bo what. At the grand ball at the Multnomah hotel Monday night, the women, of course,, will be the first importance. Tuesday evening a theater party with a special pipe organ recital' has been arranged. After this entertainment early in the evening, the women will be escorted to The Auditorium; where the less lady-like but just as entertain ing frontier- show will be In full swing, with noise and gambling and every thing. The following day, Tuesday, comes the picnic luncheon to be given at uauremursi parK Dy tne r-ortiana AO club, where every attention will be ahown the women. Several women in tend to enter the speaking contest, it is said. FASHION SHOW MAGJfET But what the Vomen are looking for ward to with more keen anticipation than anything else is the fashion show at The Auditorium Wednesday night, when some 50 or more models, dressed In hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of gowns will be seen in various acts to be put on by Portland stores. Thursday night the Swan and Blue bird, pleasure boats, will put down the river, laden with the buyers and their women. On Friday, when the city's industries throw open their doors for inspection, the women will be given as hearty a reception as the men. And on Friday night, when the men are having a banquet in the main banquet room of the Chamber of Com merce, the women will be at a ban quet in the Chamber's green room, with no men around to bother.

No one will be admitted to the build ing during this event, except accred ited buyers, those with both badge and ticket. -A cordon of police would nave to be formed to drive back the mob if the committee should hajpen to change its mind and say that everyone espe cially every woman from Mrs. Percivai to Mrs. Madge O'Malley would be al lowed to1 enter. . . Because there are wild rumors afloat about what a good show this is going to be. However, those who go to see sheer beauty will be well satisfied; the men in charge promise. It has been announced that ofte of the acts will be staged by the Meier A Frank company with a beautiful live model as the center of attraction. She will first appear draped in uncut cloth of untold value. These first draperies will be removed and other draperies of uncut cloth, exceeding even the first in richness and beauty and represent ing many hundreds of dollars, will be substituted. For this and, each succeeding act spe cial scenery is being constructed so that the background will- carry out the effects in every detail. The United States Rubber company and the Jantzen Knitting mills will spend many hundreds of dollars pre paring a beach scene, with a board walk along the sands for their models to promenade on. This will all be In pantomime. There will be no need to talk. Lipman. Wolfe & Co. will have six live models with the newest and cost liest styles from Paris. A striking act is promised by J. L. Stark of the Portland Display school. The front of a store, with three large display windows, will be arranged on the stage. As the decorator paints the scenery back of these windows, models will appear behind the glass in the ' latest things." These are just a few of the many acts planned, and then, besides these, there will be vaudeville novelties. One Uef these will be a hatbox arrangement with a miniature Marilynn Miller dancing out of it. That alone should be worth a trip to Portland, says the committee.
