lt owa vs 140 nations on display Flogmokin By RICHARD THOMAS Of The Examiner THORNTON Paul Burke has every right to be proud of the family business his parents started here 12 years ago After all the product they sell and in many cases make stands tall over several em bassies in Ottawa the head quarters of some of the largest corporations in Canada and the United States Flags Unlimited as the business is known are custom flag makers The company claims to carry one of the largest if not the largest selec tion of flags in the world says Burke 21 vicepresident of the business which operates from house on Highway 27 in this village just south of Barrie We keep flags for mo na tions in stock he says Burke says he has only heard of two other flag retail stores in the world The business he says was founded by his father Gordon who brought the family to Thornton from Toronto in 1967 CENTENNIAL DEMAND Burke senior an upholsterer by trade intended the flags as sideline but 1967 was enten nial Year and there was big demand for flags says his son The upholstering side of the business was phased out as the demand for flags grew he says The business which employs eight persons incorporated last year with Gordon as president wife Beth as secretary and son Paul as vicepresident Flags Unlimited does most of its business in the Toronto area but with advertisements in the yellow pages in most major cities it now has potential clientele from coast to coast says Burke His father is currently on twomonth sales trip made each spring which stretches from Newfoundland to British Columbia he says Besides the local and lS orders the company sends flags to countries around the world including Australia and Great Britain We got letter from Pakistan two weeks ago liiclil answered but dont know what will come of it Burke says He attributes the companys success and increasing reputa tion more to word of mouth than anything else We have had letters from people saying we were recom mended by John Diefenbaker hcsays Some of the national flags carry crest which must be silk screened onto the nylon flag and are actually bought from the manufacturer and kept in stock Burke says HANDSICWN The difference between our flags and others is that ours are all hand sewn Custom made flags arcour speciality Burke says the bulk of the companys business comes from large corporations which want their own specialized flag because it is an cyccatchei At other times they ill cvcn order foreign flag to honor Visitor from particular coun try he says Banners for streets clubs and sports arenas also count for large percentage of business but personalilcd tlags tor cot tages and homes are becoming The e4 increasingly Burke says Flags are really catching on as hristmas gifts as well he says The most popular hand sewn anadian Maple Leaf with namc overhead costs popular unJI IN 314 Luii about $28 says Burke But we have made flags costing as much as $400 in customrinadc flags the price depends on the amount of detail the customer wishes he says One thing to remember if you are willing to spend that much on flag you might not be able to afford to fly it all year round The large corporations do but they always wear oiil and have to be replaced year round says Burke Innisfil officer commended for drug abuse contribution BARCLAY onstabletiary Vyc safety officer for lnnisfil
