RED LETTER DAY

[Welland Telegraph, 6 November 1891]

The 2nd of November, 1891, will long be remembered as a red letter day in the history of Welland. In the years to come, hoary bearded grandfathers will relate to the children around their knees, how that the day was memorable by the police magistrate coming out in a fashionable two button cutaway coat, casting to the relics of antiquity the time honored, one button, gray tweed, which for ages had been a familiar sight.
