A dedicated member of the Daughters of the American Revolution \u003cspan\u003e(DAR)\u003c\/span\u003e, she took on the task of creating an official flag for Missouri in 1908. Although the state had adopted a seal in 1822, it had never adopted a flag. Oliver researched the traditions of other states, wrote to legislatures across the country, and studied how seals were used in flag design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShe chose to follow the American tradition of placing the state seal at the center of the flag. With the help of artist Mary Kochitzky, she created a painted prototype to present to the Missouri Legislature. Early attempts to pass the design in 1909 and 1911 failed, but Oliver persisted. On March 22, 1913, the Missouri Legislature officially adopted her design through the Oliver Flag Bill.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe seal remains one of the most detailed in the nation, and our printing process ensures every line, color, and symbol is reproduced with clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"KC Flag Co.","offers":[{"title":"2' x 3' \/ Nylon","offer_id":47666795577562,"sku":"60-100-10314","price":48.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3' x 5' \/ Nylon","offer_id":47666795610330,"sku":"64-100-10050","price":64.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4' x 6' \/ Nylon","offer_id":47666795643098,"sku":"60-100-10051","price":115.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4' x 6' \/ Polyester","offer_id":47666798035162,"sku":"64-100-10225","price":165.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5' x 8' \/ Nylon","offer_id":47666795675866,"sku":"60-100-10119","price":142.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5' x 8' \/ Polyester","offer_id":47666798067930,"sku":"64-100-10228","price":245.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0806\/5335\/3178\/files\/StateofMissouriFlag.jpg?v=1773286136","url":"https:\/\/kcflagco.com\/products\/missouri-state-flag-premium-single-sided-outdoor-flag","provider":"KC Flag Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
