LEATHER BUTTONS AND NAILs.-It oc-
Cured to some fertile mind two or three
years ago that the refuse of sole leather
might be utilized for buttons and nails, and
the manufacture of such nails and buttons
from such material was entered upon in this
city. After side of leather has been cut
into soles Il number Of pieces are left-strips
an inch or more in width. Only certain
part of these. or those coming from certain
parts of the side, are used. The sole leather
clippings are obtained from cutters of sole
leather in boot and shoe districts. Any one
who has travelled through Essex county,
Massachusetts, through Lynn, Salem, Pea
body and other towns could not escape the
odor of burnt leather. mingled with that of
tan bark or tanners pickle. The sole leather
clippings, rs others, were used to furnish
fires until the button of solid leather wasin
vented The leather nail or button is made
in this city to the number Of thirty or fifty
thousand per day, according to design and
finish. Every button is subjected to eight
different processes. BY machinery made
for the purpose the nail or brad is firmly at
tached to the button. Another machine
turns this brad into an eye when buttons are
desired instead Of nails. The nails and but
tons are made in various styles and colorS,
to harmonic with any covering. The fact
that the nail can be driven without breaking
the brad and without injury to its head is i'll
its favor. Pullman cars, the furniture in
hotels and elsewhere arc decorated with the
leather button or nail to the exclusion of the
brass nail, which has declined fifty per cent.
in price in consequence of the leather button
