BISHOP REVIEWS THREE PHASES OF BUTTON INDUSTRY iul it tkt nmttml Muscatine, la. J. C. Bishop, bead of the Iowa Pearl Button company, told the Junior Chamber of Commerce luncheon Friday that Muscatine finished another phase of its history but he hesitated to predict what lies ahead.

Since 1927, the pearl button Industry ri-oss sales have declined 70 per cent. of cheaper more easily produced composition buttons, which undersell the pearl product: changes in style trends, hl(h have resulted iu fewer buttons on garments; and governmental regulation, he said, have been contributing factors In the slump.
