Lefever Broom Works in Williamsport Marks 46 Years of Operation
Lefever Broom Works celebrates 46 years of production in Williamsport. The firm relies on broomcorn from Illinois and Texas and cannot meet all demand. Best known broom is "Ben's Best," with "Eclipse" a close second. Ownership shifted between Lefever and Harry Shank, but the Lefever name remains. Prices rise due to broomcorn shortages caused by weather and shifts to wheat, as government parity favors other crops.
