We have two businesses in the same building. Both businesses have corp. flags they would like to display. We have three flag poles in a straight line with the center pole taller for the American flag. Is it proper to not fly the state flag and place a corp flag on each of the other two poles or what would be the correct way to fly all four flags from three poles?

You would have to check state laws to see if there are any requirements regarding the position of the state flag with respect to corporate flags. I see no restrictions in the United States Flag Code regarding the placement of state vs corporate flags as long as the flag of the USA is in the place of honor.

I would suggest you fly the US flag on the taller pole, with the state flag directly below it. The corporate flags could fly on the lower poles. If this places the company flags lower than the state flag and you are uneasy about this, then fly a state flag at the top of the other two poles with a company flag below.

Thank you NAVA1974,

I was guessing that the best way would be to place the state ( OHIO ) flag on the same pole as the USA Flag, below it of course, but wanted to make sure I was correct in my thoughts.
