SCRANTON, Pa. (AP) Betsy Ross would be impressed by this operation.
Since 2016, the staff at North American Manufacturing on Barring Avenue has meticulously produced about 8,000 full-size American flags each year, which are sold to the Defense Logistics Agency and awarded to government retirees.
The military-grade flags are durable, made from lightweight, high-tenacity nylon that is moisture- and chemical-resistant. Every stitch meets government specifications, a company official said.
On a recent morning, the hum of industrial sewing machines filled the plant as workers carefully cut and sewed the red, white and blue materials with like-colored threads. In about 30 minutes, the nylon and thread is transformed into the Stars and Stripes.
