The Wheeling Intelligencer, Tuesday, September 3rd, 1907, reported: "Many in Uniform - The Elm Grove carpenters attracted attention through the neat uniform they wore, while the plasterers in white suits carried laths; the painters wore white suits with a small paint brush pinned on them; the leather workers, brewery workers and other wore white caps, while the tobacco workers carried red, white and blue umbrellas."
