My father, William H Bauer, Jr., a veteran of World War II, always flew an American flag on the
front of his house. After his passing in 1995, my mother, Bill's wife Ruth, took great pleasure
in honoring his memory by continuing to fly that flag every day since. For many years we bought
and mounted a succession of short-lived, poor quality flags and poles; with the singular feature
common to all being the speed at which they managed to wrap themselves tightly around the pole.
Not only was this an ugly state of affairs, but its undoing required frequent attention for Mom to
feel at ease. Seldom were poles and mounts interchangeable, so each assembly had to be mounted
afresh after the old one had been removed, just to replace a frayed or soiled flag.
My Mom loves her Ultimate Swivel. Other flags and poles ALWAYS wrapped themselves up
when it blew and conditions had to be just right to get them to "fly." Mr. Hillyer's Ultimate
Swivel System has kept her flags snapping in the breeze every day it blows and she never has
to untwist a gnarled mess in the weather. Though sun and weather have necessitated replacing
the flag, shipped promptly of course, the handsome, white, brass-topped and guaranteed unbreakable
pole has performed admirably and still looks great after years of faithful service. No matter how
wrong the conditions, the Ultimate Swivel keeps those colors flying right and looking good.
I am thoroughly pleased with your System and Northeast flags, and don't hesitate to recommend
them and their fine product to other "flag fliers." My mom, Ruth Bauer, enjoys hanging her flag
every day, windy or calm.
