TOWN AND COUNTY: FAN and BROOM DRILL COMPANIES

[Welland Tribune, 8 December 1882]

              FAN and BROOM DRILL COMPANIES are all the rage elsewhere, and take amazingly. The first organization getting up something of the kind here would strike a bonanza. For the information of any of our readers who may not know what these companies are; we may say that they are composed of young ladies, dressed in uniform, who go through the regular military drill, with variations, using the decorative fan and broom instead of the deadly weapons of war.
