THE MARKET PLACE OF PEARLS ~ 1D 20
From about 1995 to 1936 Tennessee was one of the nation's six leading states in marketing pearls. Clinton was listed as one of the three Tennessee town known as centers of the pearling industry. New york dealers came regularly to Clinton during the pearling season. Saturdays were trading days for pearl hunters and buyers. In 1900 Clinch River pearls were featured at the Paris, France, Exposition.
