Three Frenchmen & a Goat: the Demoulin Bros. Story

A ROAD SCHOLAR PROGRAM BY JOHN GOLDSMITH

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 Free and Open to the public. For more information, please contact Emma Marston at emarston@desplaineshistory.org.
