The Broom

The Broom has had a long rest since the Silk Mill in Lonaconing, MD closed in 1957. My Grandfather's job during the Great Depression was sweeping factory floors and I remember quite a few lessons in the proper use of a broom. The user of this broom did not have the benefit of such instruction as the broom is not worn evenly.
