National Flag Company Celebrates 150 years!
The National Flag Company has been creating unique flags in the West End since 1869. The company started as the Spencer & Craig Printing Works specializing in steam printing, bookbinding, and lithography. By 1894, the company incorporated the National Flag company and began creating flags, banners, and decorations. The company has since made all the flags for the MLB All-Star Game in 2015 and the Cincinnati Reds 150 anniversary flags.
Congrats on 150 years National Flag Company! We are happy to have you in the neighborhood!
