Greatmacscott Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 My wife is from the pearl button capital, Muscatine Iowa: http://muscatinehistory.org/pearl_button_industry.html It is an interesting story. The button factories were a lot like the early marble factories, swapping machines and employees between each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
