Harper Brush products are sold through independent distributors as well as a variety of retail outlets. From the first five-piece brush set, its product line has grown to include more than 600 products in the following areas: industrial push brooms, floor squeegees, car and truck wash brushes, automotive brushes, wet mops and accessories, dust mops and accessories, handles and accessories, point-of-purchase displays and horse care products. The 100-year success story of Harper Brush began with the dreams of a young Fairfield, Iowa, entrepreneur, Alphonso K. Harper, who began peddling sewing needles door-to-door when he was only 11. Watching his mother scrub floors and keep other surfaces clean, he was inspired to create his first five-piece combination brush kit. In 1900, he founded Harper Brush Works. In 1925, Harper Brush started making industrial cleaning tools as well as household products, beginning the evolution of a diverse family of Harper products.
