Demand Heavy for Brushes.
A Cleveland Plan Dealer reporter after visiting the plant of the Wooster Brush Co. where he took pictures of several men at individual tasks, wrote the following story about the plant.
WOOSTER, O. -- The first paint brush archaeologists say probably consisted of a bunch of feathers, bound with a strip of bark.
With some such instrument man's primitive ancestors are believed to have painted their crude pictures on the walls of their caves.
From this has evolved the modern paint brush a sturdy product which science has steadily improved. This brush is made exclusively of imported bristles, which are eight wedged or cemented so securely that they cannot come out.
Bristles, especially of hogs, are imported because the "back hair" of swine in this country does not have the length or structure suitable for paint brushes, experts at the Wooster Brush Co. plant here explain.
Thoroughly sterilized bristles from China and Russia are imported to make the three and a half million paint varnish and enamel brushes which the plant here produces each year.
The half-wild hogs of China are allowed to live much longer than they are in pork-producing America and thus they can grow the bristles of the length required for paint brushes. Their longest bristles, attaining more than seven inches come from the back of the neck.
Bristles are carefully combed graded sorted and in many cases blended for brushes. The best of the brushes are ____-set and leather -bound.
The revival in business has brought an unprecedented demand for paint brushes of every kind according to Walter R. Foss, sales manager of the Wooster Brush Co. one of the oldest concerns of the kind in the country.
