Shaped like a roadside billboard in orange and yellow, this sticker advertises low cost DC-6 Blue Ribbon Aircoach service, only $97.00 plus tax from Washington to Mexico City. Aircoach was the airline industry's early economy class, and the low fare was the headline. American had opened its Mexico service in 1942 with a DC-3 flight from Dallas to Mexico City via Monterrey, making Mexico its second international destination after Toronto. Stickers like this were given to passengers to put on their luggage.
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.
