Federal probe on pearl button industry on Mississippi
Federal investigators led by E B Everman studied the Mississippi pearl button trade to promote freshwater clam propagation. A five member commission toured Red Wing and La Crosse factories, examined Wisconsin Pearl Button Co operations, and reported on shells, spawning, and the carp as aid. The study highlighted northern niggerhead shells, modern plant facilities, and a push to expand production while emphasizing cost control and local La Crosse benefits.
