Please Ship Via, says the top line of this label, and below it a white polar bear stands inside a blue circle as a small airplane flies overhead. The orange lettering reads Golden North Airways Incorporated, with the address 7777 Airport Way, Seattle, Wash. along the bottom. Wording like Please Ship Via suggests it was meant for parcels and freight as much as passenger bags. The polar bear and the name point north, toward Alaska-bound flying, though little is recorded about this small carrier.
The bag is made from 10-ounce canvas of 80% recycled cotton and 20% cotton. The recycled fibers are collected from garment-cutting waste and then intertwined with cotton for added strength and durability. Self-fabric handles. Dimensions: 15.75" h x 15.25" w; approx. 240 cubic inches.
Note: Bags not intended for use by children 12 and under.
