Every house needs one or more brooms to sweep out dirt, crumbs, and other waste matter. These early workhorses were made of sedgegrass. The broom stick was a local tree sapling. The sedge was tied to the stick with jute, horse hair, or yucca string. These old brooms worked fine and were very much in used until the 1950's. Then, manufactured brooms made them pass into history.
