Reed & Barton "E’” Pennant Gets Star for Continued Achievement

To the Army-Navy “E” flag that flies proudly above the plant of Reed & Barton, Taunton, Mass., silversmiths, has been added a star, for continuing fine performance in the production of war material.

In his letter to Col. Arthur Ashworth, president of this 120-year-old firm, announcing the award, Admiral C. C. Bloch, Chairman of the Navy Board for Production Awards, states:

“At the last meeting of the Navy Board for Production Awards, the Reed & Barton Corp. was considered for a renewal of the Army-Navy ‘E’ Award. It is with great pleasure that I inform you that the renewal was granted. Accordingly, a new flag with one star affixed will be forwarded to you in the near future.

“The men and women of the Reed & Barton Corp. have achieved this high honor by continuing their splendid production in such volume as to justify this renewal of their award. In the first instance, it was difficult to win the Army-Navy ‘E’ and by meriting a renewal, the management and employees have indicated their determination and ability to support our fighting forces by supplying the equipment necessary for ultimate victory.

“The Navy Department extends its hearty congratulations and desires to express a fervent hope that future production will be even more outstanding.”
