furnish best cambria flags and guidOns of various
coIors, l7X26 inches, at % cents each; mounted 30
cents each We will furnish silk flag l6x24 inches,
with GAR. badge in corner at 20 cents, un-
mounted. Posts ordering flags and guidons will be
required to pay eXpressage same, and in order
TO secure them must order long enough beforehand
to have them made. a number of inquiries having
been made OF Department Headquarters for Up
toms Tactics, A @. MIG. 4. II. Blake has arranged
