REPAIRING OLD GLORY

The huge American flag which
belongs to the city and which has
been displayed at various times is
being repaired and cleaned thru the
courtesy of the dry-cleaning depart
ment of the Toggery. Mr.. Good
nough's dry-cleaning skill applied to
the flag will make it like new.
Up to this time the flag has not
had the care that it is entitled to
not only because of it's being our
flag and all respect due it, but it is
one of the finest flags hereabouts and
valuable because of good quality and
size.
After the many rents are mended
and it is cleaned the flag will be
properly cared for.
