HIS IS THE STORY OF A BROOM--
 4 SIMPLE BUT NECESSARY ARTICLE

foot is left for the operator to work on There is spindle above the revolving clamp, which, also thru motive power, and at the will of the operator, revolves, turning out fine steel thread.
 Making Broom.
 The operator takes a handful of broom corn from a rack handy, and fits it over the end of the broom handle, meanwhile binding it down with the steel thread. More hand fuls of corn, then more, and still more is fitted on the handle, all subjected to the same treatment of being wrapped with the steel wire. Soon, there is a sufficient amount of corn on the handle to make broom, and the operator then trims the edges left on the broom handle with sharp knife. The steel wire is again brought into play, wrapping still tighter, the broom on the handle.
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1919-07-06

To make it further secure. a piece of red flanned is wrapped around the base of the broom. and again the steel wire wraps it, forming two steel guards, and leaving a neat little bit of red flannel sticking out. The loose end of the steel wire is then tackled to the broom handle with a small nail, and the broom is ready for the next man. In stating that a piece of red flannel is used, does not mean that red is the accepted color. That part is optional. Blue flannel might well be used, the choice of color de- pending on the artistic taste of the manufacturer.
 The next process is the sewing of the broom. This is done by ma chlne and an operator. The machine has two long needles. The broom, sweeping part uppermost, is fitted into clamp. A red, or blue heavy thread is wrapped about the broom where it is to be sewed, the two needles of the machine threaded, and and throttle showed forward, be- glnlng the sewing process. The broom IS sewed in four places, about an ilieh 1peIo, WlCH varying COlOroQ thread. These colors, too, depend en- tlrely on the artistice temperament of the operator.
 After the broom has been sewn, the final part of the manufacturing process comes. The whispy stringy edges of the broom corn are cut off smoothly with a knife machine. Some of the brooms are cut slightly round- ed, others are cut straight Both ways, 1t is said, produce good sweeping broom.
 Not as Simple as Seems.
 The merit of a broom lies in the material put into it, plus the skill and efficiency of the workman. The broom corn must be carefully select ed, the handles must be of choice ma- terial, and well made, and the broom

 Is agreed that he must begin some how, the next best method is to talk about something which has slight bearing on the subject to be discuss ed.
 Now broom in the hahds of a housewife has nothing at all to do with the manner in which brooms are made. In fact, if the thoughts (Which course thru the mind of the housewife while using the broom dir |ected the manufacture and output of brooms, there would be no story-for |there would be no brooms.
 Making Elm Here.
 l Several days ago, Pine Bluffs broom factory began operations at |lts plant on east Third avenue, and las the plant is now working smooth |ly, the daily output of ~brooms is be- tween 25 and 50 dozen brooms a day, |all of which are finding a market in Pine Bluff. The indications are too, |that Pine Bluff can handle the entire output of the local factory, for the |orooms turned out, are very good grade, and ranking with the best made, are no higher in price.
 A broom is similar to number of other things, such as the automo- bile, the sausage grinder, the loco motive, and the sewing machine, in that separate parts are manufactur- ed and then assembled. The manu- part in the construction of a broom however is concerned almost wholly with the assembling process. Comes the first consideration, that of the principal part of the broom, namely, that which does the sweep Ing. It is not manufactured, but grown. It is made of broom corn, carefully selected, cut to the desired length, and shipped to the assembling plant. After it reaches there, it is dried and toughened thru a smoking process.
 Handle Important Part.
 The next most important feature of broom is the handle. To be, a success handle must be long, round, smooth, and sufficiently light, yet sufficiently strong to sustain consid- erab!e use. Therefore, the wood which is used for the handle is a wood which combines as nearly as possible, these features. The handle IS made, and sent to the assembling plant, and there the handle and the broom corn meet, and meeting are soon soon to become pardners in many ;iean-up campaign.
 A skilled broom maker fits the handle of the broom in clamp which lafu motive power, is made to re- Volve-in tho operators own time, !! snd by his wishes. The handle iol L'tted Tn the clamp 50 that just about

 The Pine Bluff Broom company, a new industry here, is now running at full force, and is turning out grade of brooms which local dealers are very glad to handle.
 E. E. Bricker. part owner and plant manager, has direct supervision of the work, himself taking charge of the sewing machine, and sewing some of the brooms just to keep his hand in. Predictions are that this in- dustry will expand considerably within the next year
