JUST BUTTONS

The people of the United States
pay an average of 100000, 900 a year
for buttons and have sent SIS, 600, 900
worth abroad since the beginning of
the war.
The history of the button industry
in the United States, since the war cut
off our principal source of foreign but
tons. drawn chiefly from Germany and
Austria-Hungary, is says the Trade
Record of the National City Bank of
New York, one of great activity both
in home production and expectation.
In the year before the war the value
of the buttons turned out by our fac
torres was $20,000,0O0 while a census
statement recently announced shows
the value of the outturn of our but
ton factories in 1919, the latest census
year, S43,0G0,0G0, and experts in that
industry estimate that the sum paid
70 rthem by the final consumer" in
the United States was about S1G0, 000,-
600. The total number of buttons turn
ed out by the factories of the United
States in 1919 is stated by the census
at 69,323,000 gross, OF equivalent to
practically 10000, 100000 buttons.
Besides this big total of over $40
100000 worth of buttons supplied to
the nome market by our manufacture
ers, they have rapidly expanded their
sales abroad. Prior to the war the
value of the buttons exported from the
United States averaged a little more
than a half million dollars a year,
but with the chief European button
manufacturers, Germany and Austria
Hungary, cut off from the outside
world the foreign demand upon the
United States was greatly stimulated
and the value of our exports of this
class of manufacture jumped from a
little over a half million dollars in
1914, to IL millions in 1915, 2 mil
liSons in 1916, 2 IL millions in 1918,

The VALUE oE ALASKA

In 1918, the last year for which we
have the complete returns, there were
many resources of Alaska. under cul-
tivation, of which the fisheries were
only one. OF the fisheries, the salmon,
the sockeye variety variety was only
one; and of the sockeye caught, only
a part was canned. Yet the part thai
was canned was sold for $40, 900. 900,
giving in one year return more than
three times the original purchase price
of Alaska.
This is merely the beginning OF our
ralization of the accidental or vague
ly designed wisdom of Stewards folly,
for the salmon, valuable as they are.
will soon be far exceeded in value by
other food products of Alaska. Seat
tie, one of our biggest American cities,
Is already being supplied by the mar
ket gardens Of Alaska. And the es-
Inmates of the United States Agricul-
tural Department are that within fif-
teen reindeer meat at present prices
per pound will be worth from s45 900.
