BUTTON SCHEME DID GOOD WORE

FACTORY KEPT AND NEW ONE STARTED BY MONEY FROM THE BUTTON SALE. COLLECTIONS WILL BE Made Soon From the Merchants and Over a Thousand Dollars Will Be Taken in. Within a short time the collections from the several merchants for the sale of the "I am for Richmond" boom buttons will be made and it is expected that the sale will realize much more than a thousand dollars. The buttons are selling as fast now as they did on the first day on which they were offered for sale. Indeed, the temporary zeal with which they were at first bought has settled down into a realization of the need of some such boom method and persons who, thinking that the boom would soon pass off, failed to purchase a button a few weeks ago, now, seeing the benefits derived from the sale, have eagerly bought the buttons. The little "I am for Richmond" are now to be seen on the lapels of nearly every citiezn's coat. Only a few collections have been made as yet but seven hundred dollars and more have been taken from a few raerchants.The sum total of the collections when all are made will amount to a sum considerably more than was at first expected. The only way to judge anything fairly is to consider its results. Already one factory, which was considering leaving Richmond, has been, persuaded to stay by means of the money secured from the button sale, by purchasing two more lots and thus giving the factory, the Chandelier and Art Brass Works, sufficient room for a site. A freight depot of the C, C. & L. will go up in the south end this summer, also a direct result of judicious use of the button money, and last but not least, the canning .factory, the first one Richmond has ! , ever had, was mainly secured through this same means.
