"Many Brooms Made At Corll Factory"
"Located on West Mill street is a little manufacturing plant by the name of the E. S. Croll Broom Factory. This little plant puts out the best of material and the finest workmanship. A broom factory is a peculiar business and is a very hard thing to describe without going into detail, but just to give, an idea of how a good broom is made, a little more space will be used. The broom part is made of corn that is grown in Illinois, Kansas and Oklahoma and is of the best material. This is brought into the factory and sorted, the long corn from the short. In the factory this is done by machinery. Mr. Corll does this by hand and therefore it is better sorted. This is sewed, and a handle put on with wire. Instead of using machinery, Mr. Corll does this work by hand and makes a better and stronger broom than the ones made in the factory. The factory brooms are all made by machinery it taking three minutes to make one, when done by hand it takes about an hour. The twine that Mr. Corll uses is waxed which strengthens the broom considerably and is not affected by water. 3 sizes of brooms are made at the Corll Factory, 13 1/2", 14 1/2" and 16 1/2" and his personal guarantee goes with every broom sold. Mr. Corll has some extra fine brooms in stock at present and invites the general public to visit his place of business. He first learned his trade when blind, then when he regained his sight he was compelled to learn the trade over again, therefore he has a thorough knowledge of broom making. Mr. Corll has been established on West Mill street for the last year." (picture)

Niles Daily News, Niles, Ohio, 20 Dec. 1911
"Mr. Corll, the broom manufacturer, announces to his friends and patrons that he will close his factory on Saturday at noon and, it will remain closed until January 1. He desires all those having brooms which are ready for delivery will kindly secure them."

Note: After the death of Edward S. Corll, Florence (1864-1948) married James McMillin.
