MERCHANTS GET NEW
FLAGS FROM C OF C
Emmett Shanks, president of
Chamber of Commerce, announced
Wednesday morning that new flags
had been received by the Chamber
and would be issued to all merchants
who had flag poles on which to dis-
play them. This is a service that tl^e
organization is extending to mer-
chants absolutely free.
The new flag is 3x5 and of fjjst
colors and will add much to the ap-
pearance of the business section when
they are placed on display. It will
be remembered that several years
ego flags and poles were sold to
the merchants and holes were placed
in the sidewalks in front of business
houses where they could
decorations. (
The old flags have
served their purpose, and
be replaced with new ones.
I few merchants have purchased new
flags, but as a whole the flags are
badly weather-beaten and do not have
the appearance they should.
Monday, September 1st, is a na-
tional holiday and will be observed
as a holiday by the post office and
i banks of the c'ty. It is I-abor Day,
land in larger places is observed bx
I practically all business concerns. Jt
' will be a good day to use the new
