Project Big Button Trust.

Now there is to be a million-dollar button trust. This combination, by the plans of men now at work in New York perfecting it, will take in all the important manufacturers of ivory buttons in the United States. There are more than a dozen of them and they supply from 75 to 80 per cent of all the buttons sold to the American trade by home manufacturers.
