AUGUSTA’S SHELL FACTORY.
Mussel Supply on Lower While River is
Keeping Button Factory Wheels
Turning.
The town of Augusta, Wood
ruff county, on White river, is
deriving constant benefit from
the button factory which fol
lowed in the wake of the pearl
ing industry. There are tons of
mussel shells yet to be found in
the White river, and it is with
this raw material that the fac
tory is fed. A citizen of Au
gusta, in speak.ng of the enrer
prise, said that from 20 to 30
persons are now employed in the
button factory and that at pres
ent the weekly output is valued
at between $500 and $600. This,
it is believed, can be readily in
creased fully thrice when the
protracted high water of White
river recedes and enables the
task of gathering shells to pro
ceed without interruption. When
the plant is run at its full capac
ity it will furnish employment
for 100 to 15o persons and turn
out materials valued at some
thing like $100,000 per annum.
The enterprise is well and con
servative! v managed and may be
looked upon as a fixture in Au
gusta, the experimental stage
having long ago been passed
successfully.
There is a feature in connec
tion with the button factory not
to be overlooked. Not only does
the plant provide profitable em
ployment to a goodly number
of persons, but the refuse or
surplus material from the shells
makes an ideal thoroughfare.
In fact, the shell-paved streets
of Augusta bid fair to become
known far and near and to furn
ish an object lesson of great
value to municipalities that have
paving problems to solve. The
supply of mussel shells appears
inexhaustible and there is always
a market for the Augusta but
tons, so that altogether the es
tablishment of the factory there
was a happy thought.—Little
Rock Gazette.
