- Harold Albert Loeb (1891-1974) was founder and chief editor of the Broom from 1921-1924. In 1917, he started working for the Sunwise bookstore in Greenwich Village, where he became acquainted with a number of writers and artists. Among them was Alfred Kreymborg, with whom he went to France to establish Broom. After editing Broom, Leob devoted his time mainly to writing. He wrote several novels, and published The Way It Was: A Memoir (Criterion : New York 1959)..
