Through sharply-rendered photographs and accompanying text, this album documents the creation and display of a jumbo-sized patriotic textile.
The album begins, "This mammoth flag was displayed at the front of the J.L. Hudson Department Store at Detroit, Michigan, on Armistice Day, November 11, 1923. The flag is 150 long by 90 feet wide. The stripes are 7 feet wide and the stars are 5 feet in diameter and the total weight is about 600 pounds. To make the flag, 7 1/2 miles of thread were necessary, and 1221 yard of Sterling wool double warp bunting of the following widths were used:
529 yards of 42 inches width, red.
472 yards of 42 inches width, white.
220 yards of 48 inches width, blue.
The flag was made by Messrs. Annin & Co., flag manufacturers, New York City.
Singer Sewing Machines were used exclusively."
The book goes on to layout the step by step process for how the machine undertaking was achieved, never forgetting to note when a Singer product helped accomplish the mammoth task.
