25, 1942. N contrast with many businesses that have been hard hit as the Nation swings into a 100 per cent war economy, the flag-making business is hitting a new all-time peak. That's the story at all flag factories, and these pictures taken at one of the smailer ones, the Dettra Flagg Company at Oaks, Pa., illustrate the boom times. In the picture above, flags are piled high in one of the main sewing rooms as they move from the sewing machine stitching to the hand job of attaching a fringe to the small silk flags. Mary Jane Patterson, one of the factory’s 250 employes operates a hemming machine that hems, not one flag at a time, but several hundred of them in a continuous ribbon. In another operation they’ll be clipped into single flags. Two extremes in flags produced at the factory. The huge flag, for draping a building, represents many hours of work and many yards of material in the making. The other flag is small enough for a lapel decoration.

The factory is making 30,000 small flags and 2,000 large ones every day, with a daily requirement of 10,000 yards of material.

Thus a flag factory does its coloring and printing as well as its cutting and stitching in producing flags. Luxurious Bedroom Grouping: of Three Distinctive Pieces . ..
