In 1918 the factory was moved to Dallas, Texas and became known as Magnolia Brush Manufacturing Co. Mr. Zehetner merged with Thorburn Broom Co. in Dallas for a while and the company produced corn brooms, shoeshine brushes, GI scrub brushes and horse brushes for the U.S. Army under a government contract. The partners later separated and Mr. Zehetner continued to operate the factory as Magnolia Brush Company out of a building behind his residence on Richardson Avenue.
