| TEXT | Millions of pearl buttons are annually manufactured in Newark, and the finest productions in the market emanate from the several factories of this city. Entitled to especial consideration in this connection is the factory of Mr. William Greaves, which is located on the third floor of the Hedenberg Works and was established in the year 1874. The manufactures here are justly celebrated, and embrace pearl dress, sleeve, collar, and vest buttons, as well as studs of every description. These are supplied to the trade throughout the United States, and principally with New York city. The best of facilities are enjoyed in their manufacture and from ten to fifteen experienced hands are kept constantly employed. Mr. Greaves imports his own shells, which are gathered in the East Indies, transported to London, and from thence to his establishment. Of recent years the trade in pearl buttons has largely increased, and the demand is greater today than ever before. Mr. Greaves is a native of England, but came to this country many years ago and subsequently located in Newark, engaging in business as above stated. He is an industrious, enterprising man, practical at the business, and is an expert workman. |
