A few CVRR pictures and some other related pictures....

A flitch was a board from which veneer was cut so I suspect these were being unloaded at the mill. End loading doors were common around 1900. Knuckle couplers became mandatory for common carriers in 1896.

Thanks for still another evocative photograph.

I was waiting for someone to mention that detail - not a word commonly used in every day conversation,

Nonetheless, a great scene to model!

"(d) The flag should never be used as wearing apparel, bedding, or drapery. It should never be festooned, drawn back, nor up, in folds, but always allowed to fall free. Bunting of blue, white, and red, always arranged with the blue above, the white in the middle, and the red below, should be used for covering a speaker’s desk, draping the front of the platform, and for decoration in general."

Indeed. There are a host of rules regarding the use and display of the flag that were and continue to be totally ignored largely in pursuit of honoring the country. Of course, actually reading the rules is probably beyond most folks nowadays - maybe if it were all texted to them they would?

Should the flag not be left out (flying on a pole or wall-bracket) at night?

When our flag is too old and worn to still fly, I am under the impression it must not be thrown into the garbage, of course. Should it be turned over to a local firehouse or VFW for proper conclusion?

Is the flag never to be buried with the deceased?
