CAMPAIGN OPENS FACTORIES
Gives stimulus to Industry and Sends
Out Millions of CellulOid
Battons.

Instead il sitting Industry the presiden-
tial campaign has put some idle factories
to work, notably the makers of ceIluloid
buttons.
The era of buttons with mottos, the latest
wrinkles in slang, pictures OF presidential
candidates and other expressions Of opin-
ion, has returned.
-Four years ago, when campaign buttons
were issued, hundreds Of other varieties
Accompanied them. 1t was not necessary
to do much talking. The buttons were so
numerous that a fairly satisfactory con-
versation could be carried on by sticking
buttons on the coat. With a small pocket
Of celluloid buttons one person could tell
the other that he was broke. that his wife
was out of town and he was looking FOR
a job. The buttons not only told presi-
dental preferences. but performed all the
functions OF a dumb mans pencil and pad
Of paper.
One of the first buttons OF the funny
order was the great hit four and eight
years ago. 1t simply said Girl Wanted. q
The buttons were sold by the bushel and
were worn by both those whP really
wanted girls and those who had mo bust.
ness asking for a girl.
windows OF the novelty stores OF Omaha
are full Of buttons. Not only Taft, Bryan
and Jim" appear on them. but there ar,
the f~avorite heroes Of comic opera anc
heroines Of the stage. There are
those with notices and alleged cute saying
One big white celluIoid button has a white
metal stork fastened to It and the words
Amt II Awful. Mabel?' There are a full
hundred varieties already, and the dealeri
cannot get them fast enough to supply thu
demand.
The celluloid front Is fashionable again
Everyone will soon wear buttons, regardless
OF the belief that it is more pious to US,
only hooks and eyes.
