The title sets this picture apart: a flag woven and made up by mill workers in Manchester, New Hampshire, a city whose textile mills were among the largest in the country. The picture appeared in the October 1917 issue of *The National Geographic Magazine*, months after the United States entered the First World War in April of that year. Its halftone reproduction shows the wartime turn of industrial workers toward national symbols, with the flag made in the same mills that produced cloth for everyday use. The photograph was taken by Harlan A. Marshall.
