Is the text you qoted all on one line? What I am getting at is the possiblity that the first word could be "GOVERNMENT" and may be related to the quality of bunting or the contract under which the flag was made. If "FLAG CO." is on a separate line then any name could have preceeded it. Some of the more common flagmakers during WWII include Annin, Dettra, Valley Forge, Collegeville, Chicago Flag Co., American Flag Co, to name a few.
A photo may be of great value in interpreting this text.
