Black on orange, this roundel shows a twin-engine, twin-tailed airliner flying above a winged shield marked Fly C&S, all framed by the words Chicago & Southern Air Lines. Travellers were handed labels like this to put on their luggage. Founded in 1933 and later headquartered in Memphis, C&S flew the Valley Level Route from Chicago to New Orleans, added DC-4 services to Havana, Kingston and Caracas after the war, and joined Delta in 1953.
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.
