This interesting split-reel shows the manner in which brushes are made from the raw product, which comes from the bogs of Poland, China. Siberia and the Indies, right up to the finished product. In the countries where the bristle industry is important the farmer ties little bunches of the hair on the hog’s back together, and when the warm weather comes the bristles in their little packages fall out. They are then sorted, straightened, combed and divided into colors and qualities as desired. They are thoroughly soaked, washed, bleached and dried. The film then shows the manner in which they are inserted and cemented into the ferrule and thence into the leather-bound brush. |
