OCR Text	Show Lady's Button Collection Is Valued at $10,000 MALAGA, N. J. Mrs. Gertrude Patterson in four years has built a button collection with more than 40,000 specimens valued at more than $10,000. She keeps bushels of duplicates in the basement of her home for swapping swap-ping with other collectors. One of her choice pieces, valued at $500, is a soft stone button with a heavy silver back. On it is inscribed in old Arabic: , "God be praised. There is no strength without the power of God." "Buttons have been traced back 4,000 years and have been made of metals, woods, glass, porcelain, ivory, precious stones, potatoes, rice and dried blood," she explained.
