Flag Makers See Record Bicentennial Demand
Demand for patriotic flags soars as Dettra Annin and peers struggle to fill orders. Dettra has limited new accounts and runs two shifts to meet a 75 percent fill rate, despite $50,000 in new equipment and 50 hires. Annin, the largest, reports sales “through the roof” with added production lines and extra shifts to handle backlogs of eight to ten weeks. Flags for Bennington 76 and Betsy Ross motifs drive the surge as more Americans display banners on Memorial Day and the Fourth of July.
