Post Office Department Is Custodian
OF Largest Flag and All State Banners

THE Post Office Department is
custodian Of the largest Amer
lean flag in possession of the
Il United States Government. So
far as known, there is but
one larger flag in the country and
that is owned by department store
at Denver, Colo.
This flag, which is suspended in
the massive court of the Post Office
Department, was made for it in 1920
at a cost of $500. The material is
of the finest wool and the individual
stripes are but CT of an inch less
than a full yard in width. The di-
mansions over all are 70 feet q inches
in height by 81 feet in width. The
blue field is % by 20 feet. Each star
is 80 inches across and the breadth of
each stripe is 2 11-13 feet. The weight
of the flag is 80 pounds. The banner
stretches for six stories in the court
of the department building.
This huge American flag was taken
down for the first time a few weeks
ago and given a cleaning, the first it
has had since 1t was originally Sus-
pended in the court of the Post Office
Department. A special dry cleaning
preparation was used, as it would be
regarded as a deseCraton of any Amer
lean tag were it to be given a liquid
bath. Several days were consumed in
the cleaning process.
In 1908, the Post Office Department
tnaugurated among the other execl-
tive departments at Washington the
celebration of June IA. the birthday
of the flag. Since then each year the
day has been observed with appropri-
ate ceremonies.

A
connected with each and every
State of the Union, it has seemed
proper that the various common
Wealths should be represented at the
headquarters of that service when the
department pays supreme honor to
"Old Glory" AS a result, the depart
ment is in possession of the most ex-
tensive collection of State flags gath
cred together under one roof in the
country. OF the 48 States but two
Nevada and Kansas-are missing from
the collection hanging in the court of
the Post Office Department. 1t is ex-
pected that within the very near fu-
ture these two States will be added to
the ones which now adorn the inside
of the departments structure. These
State flags were presented to the de-
partment from time to time by patri-
QUO ana departmental OFSdHiEdLlOHS
and by individuals, and much cere-
mony and pomp have attended their
reception by the Postmaster General
in behalf of the Government.
The flag of Delaware consists of a
field of colonial blue, on which is i'm
posed q diamond of buff, bearing the
coat-of-arms Of the State. Underneath
the diamond there appears this in
scription: December 18th, 1881" de-
noting the date on which the State
was admitted into the Union, it being
the first one to take such action.
With blue field of the same shade
as that Of the flag of the United
States, the flag of Pennsylvania bears
the coat-of-arms Of the State In the
center on both sides. This consists
of a shield with a ship sailing on an
ocean in the upper third, two plows
in the middle section and three
sheayes of wheat in the lower section.
Two harnessed horses rampant sup
port the shield: an eagle with out
