CLINTON CLOTH ADDS NEW GLORY TO OLD GLORY Clinton Cottons, Inc., recently sold 100,000 yards of Style C 6.25 to M. Lowenstein & Sons, principal printers of American Flags, to be used in our nation's new 49-star flag. P r o d u c t i o n of the new printed national emblem by M. Lowenstein & Sons was set back an estimated three to four weeks when the President's committee failed to approve either of two engraving plates made in advance of the Governments flag decision. Such a plate usually takes about a month to prepare, and it is not likely that printed flags will go into production before the end of the month, or early February. The 49 stars in the blue field will be arranged in seven staggered rows of seven SUUXS CclUII. Flags of Clinton material will be obtained as soon as possible for display in both mills, and to fly atop the flag poles. Officially the new flag is not to be flown until Independence Day?July 4. 1959. Did You Know?
