HOW PEARL AND IVORY
BUTTONS ARE MADE

There are few more interesting proc
esses in manufacturing than those
through which understanding pieces of
pearl shells and ivory nuts pass in reach
ing the stage where they are presentable

modern button factory. in fact, illus
trates well the scientific division of labor
and adaptation of machinery that have
advanced to such a high degree in twen-
tieth century industry. Rochester is the
home of three of these large concerns.
and they are known the world over for
the best grades of products
The pearl used at the factory comes
from the nlother-of-pearl shells gathered
in the oyster beds of Australian and
Southir rn Pacific waters. Large business
houses in London send their men out to
collect most of this material used and it
is shipped to all parts of the world where
pearl buttons are made. During recent
years less desirable kind of pearl

taken from the mussel beds in the lower
part Of the Mississippi River.
Ivory nuts are native to the northern
countries Of South America. particularly
on the Western coast. They are the fruit
of species of palm tree. varying in
height. They usually are found at the
bases of the trees. where they grow in
large burrS like those which inclOse

1t is due chiefly to the great demand

printed, was prepared by the Scribner peo-
pie. In all respects it is a standard one.
and the photograph portrait which adorns
it is reproduction Of that picture of the
poet which Mrs. Field herself has Sc
lected as the best ever taken of him.
Eugene Fields retention of popularity
after the lapse Of time which has inter-
vened since his death seems to show
that his works have established them

are easily shaken of in a large revolving
drum. Then the nuts are cured and fin-
ally are sliced into small pieces on cir
cular saws. and are given to the men
operating the turning machines after be-
ing sorted into various sizes.
The pearl shells are put on the turnins
machines as the first step. and thereafter
they go through practically the same
processes, with slight variations, that
the ivory does. These machines give both
the pearl and the ivory the general
which usually are round. by simply
and pearl. Then the rough faces Of the
pearl pieces made smooth on an
emery wheel. The ivory pieces are next
taken to the room where thread holes
are made with little drills. through the
centers. or across the backs, through
sEanks. To finish them they go through
the buffing machine. which wears them
down smoothly. If il is desired to finish
only the center. leaving the rim rough,
the rim is covered. and the center is
sand blasted. In embossing the buttons
a regular steel engraving die descend,
upon them. giving the imprint desired.
II then becomes necessary to soak the
buttons again before coloring them. that
they may readily absorb the colorini
matter. In giving them their various de-
signs of tints different figured stencils
are placed upon them and the colors are
sprayed through them. Bichromate Of
potash is used as mordant-that is. for
the purpose of setting the colorS.
After they are colored the buttons are
sewed onto cards. gross on each card,
and usually six gross are placed in boz
ready for shipment.
