THE REASON THE IRVINGS ARE NOT FLYING THE NEW BRUNSWICK FLAG!!!! READ ON....you may be surprise by the answer...


Picture 017, originally uploaded by Oldmaison.

There!!!!!! I finally walked into the Irving station and asked – Why are you not flying the New Brunswick Flag?

I got my answer!

I told the guy other stations are not flying the flag so therefore it must be some sort of a trend.

He told me that one of the reasons is that the flag rips to easily and it goes on the power line.

No power line near this station!!!!

I was assured that the flag will be back in a couple of weeks.

So? The flags are easily ripped and it’s costing too much money to replace!

Sigh???? The Irvings are now saving money in flying the flags only during a certain part of the year.

I wonder just how much these big flags cost anyway?

That sounds like a business idea for some entrepreneur. Unrippable flags! No doubt they are made out of nylon or something like that. Made out of one of those new synthetic fabrics that won't rip may be a money maker! Patent pending!

Flags especially large ones can cost a good deal of money There is a place called advanced fabric and they sell all kinds of flags I believe that the Royal Canadian Legion Branch #4 purchases their flags from them.

If this is the case with the Irving corporation, and depending on the size of the flag, they can get pretty pricy but they sell quality material in the flags they make.
