Linda -- a factory in our area is credited with the first standardized broom in the 30s, I think. We have many images from the factory. Contact me and we can talk about them...

Although the exhibit focuses primarily on workers, we're including a section on the processes themselves. I'm hoping someone on the list could steer me towards explanations and/or photographs of the following: broommaking in a factory setting and knitted underwear manufacturing, both from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Any help would be appreciated! Please feel free to respond off list.
