We also believe more homes would fly the flag if more people knew where to get one. Failure to fly the flag, it has been found, is not due to any lack of patriotism on the part of Americans who love Old Glory as much today as Americans did when the Spirit of '76 was first born. Because of this we make this fine flag set available as a public service at our cost. The set is top quality through and throughr It meets every standard the government sets for a flag of this type. In addition, the stripes are double stitched, a hallmark of flag quality usually found only at higher prices. We include with the big 3 x 5 - foot flag... all the equipment necessary for rigging according to the rules of flag etiquette. These flags are available to all... with no other requirement than that you pay our basic cost... and fly one on your home on holidays. We also include, for the convenience of those who cannot come in for flag sets, an order form which will bring a set to you by parcel post, if you wish. Fly the flag on important national holidays to come... and especially on the Birthday of American Independence July 4th. The stars and stripes on your home show the world that the Spirit of '76 is as warm in American hearts today as it was at Its birth, on the first 4th of July... nearly 200 years gone by.
