Jasper County Democrat, Volume 20, Number 62, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 3 November 1917 — SERVICE FLAGS ARE NOW HERE [ARTICLE]

SERVICE FLAGS ARE NOW HERE

The Democrat was disappointed in getting its supply of Service Flags, advertised in a recent issue, as promptly as expected and they only arrived this week. Owing to the fact that these flags are shipped from a factory in the East, making it slow in getting orders filled, we shall get in no more after the present supply is exhausted. Therefore, everyone having a member of their family now in the U. S. army or navy service should make it a point to secure one of these flags at once. They are a beautiful red flag with a white center and in this center is a blue star, indicating that the business house or home from which it is displayed have sent one man to the colors. If ♦ more than one has gone, more stars can be added one for each man sent. We have at present these flags in three sizes—-Bxl2 inches at 15c, -12x15 inches at 25c; and 24x36 inches at 75c. The flags are all mounted. Call in and secure one before the supply is exhausted. They can be secured at no other place in Jasper county at this writing and we shall order no more when this supply is gone.
