From 'The Press' 11 August 1885 - Courtesy National Library of New Zealand - Papers Past - "Mr T.J.Harbutt, of the Corn Broom Factory, Auckland, sends a small exhibit of his manufactures,- which he claims is entirely a local industry, the broom corn being grown in Auckland, the handles made of New Zealand wood, and the dyes used taken from New Zealand berries. The weekly output of Mr Harbutt is, I am told, upwards of two thousand brooms."
