What was a filler of tooth brushes? I assume that was just someone who made tooth brushes? Was that really a popular job? Google is totally failing me on that.

If you looked up census record occupations of the era, you wouldn't find a lot of "rotary-machine operator" or "polisher" either. It's one example of an assembly task that was part of manufacturing at the time.
