Story of Brass Button Bears:
On a sunny winters day in 1900 June Goodridge, a seamstress in upstate Maine, opened the door to find a baby on her porch. The baby was wrapped in a simple blanket. She cared for the baby and their bond became so strong that she adopted the child and named him Joshua. When Joshua was eight, he made a teddy bear on his mothers sewing machine. He dressed it in the clothes of the day and fastened a brass button to it. The bear became his friend and every ten years Joshua made another special bear. He went on to become successful in business and life, with a happy marriage and ten children. In the year 2000 Joshua Goodridge celebrated his 100th Birthday. He told his children and grandchildren the story of how the bears bring luck and prosperity to his life.
