Button-Molding Machine. From Taunton, Mass., comes this bright idea...a machine which automatically molds buttons from a plastic material; which, at the same time, cuts, forms, and holds the wire button eyelet in position while the button is being molded around the eyelet. Something like baking a doughnut around the hole!
