About this event

Illinois Humanities Road Scholar John Goldsmith presents the story of three enterprising young men who founded a fraternal supply company in 1892 that today is one of the biggest manufacturers of marching band uniforms. It’s an entertaining tale of trick chairs, strength testers, graduation caps and gowns, and band uniforms. This event is presented as part of Illinois Humanities Road Scholars Bureau.
