Family Owned
and Operated
since 1936
Advertising Flag Company was founded in 1936 by Frank F. Smith, a visionary entrepreneur with a passion for craftsmanship. Originally from Pittsburgh, PA, Frank made his way to Chicago to work at the Century of Progress (Chicago World’s Fair), which took place from May 1933 through October 1934. During the fair, he made his mark by selling novelty products, laying the foundation for what would become a legacy of quality flag and banner manufacturing.
His dedication to producing hand-sewn custom flags and banners continues to inspire our commitment to excellence to this day.

The banner looks terrific. Our thanks to you and your staff…
Thanks for thinking of ways to save me money; I really appreciate it. The flags arrived yesterday. The quality is really good and the service was some of the best I’ve received in ages – 3 e-mails within a day of ordering? That’s what I call service…

Dear Cookie and Team:
It’s Tuesday afternoon in Vernon Hills. There are 10 inches of snow on the ground, 4 more falling around me right now while I shovel my driveway to clear a path for the mailman. The UPS driver rolls in and delivers a package that I expected in few days from now. It is IT….. my order from FlagPro, and it proves beyond doubt that….Santa is …… a Cubs fan! Thank you so much for the ULTRA prompt delivery before Christmas. I know you can’t pull this off every time, but this is a story that will certainly make the rounds around my neighborhood and at work.
Happy Holidays to you and your family- you made mine!
I just wanted to thank you all for the outstanding service I received from your company! My order arrived quickly, and in excellent condition. Also, special thanks to your shipping department for making the box to size, and for the careful packaging…
I want to thank you for being so prompt with delivery! I also was thrilled to find such high quality merchandise in the box. Thanks again. Will certainly use you again and recommend you
