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.

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.

NEWEST FASHIONS
TO BE DISPLAYED
The most' artistic event of Buyers'
week probably will be the fashion
shqw and vaudeville entertainment in
The Auditorium Wednesday night,
August 9, at 8 o'clock, and lasting
until 11.
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.
