First Native Pearl Buttons

Janesville, Wis., Oct. 18.- The first pearl buttons ever manufactured from Rock river clamshells in this section of the country were turned out Saturday by the Janesville Pearl Button company, whose factory is now in full blast in this city. The quality of the buttons are considered to be as fine as any made in Europe, and the local flrm is highly elated over the outlook. A well-known Chicago jobber has contracted to take the entire output regardless of limit.
