The Paramount Flag Company also began selling a surplus stock of <a href="/wiki/International_Order_of_the_Rainbow_for_Girls" title="International Order of the Rainbow for Girls">Rainbow Girls</a> flags from its retail store on the southwest corner of Polk and Post, at which Gilbert Baker was an employee.<sup id="cite_ref-Unsung_Hero_29-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Unsung_Hero-29"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>29<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In 1979, the flag was modified again.<sup id="cite_ref-30" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-30"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>30<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Aiming to decorate the street lamps along the parade route with hundreds of rainbow banners, Baker decided to split the motif in two with an even number of stripes flanking each lamp pole.
