In this variation of North Central's round label, Herman the duck climbs steeply through his circle, wings swept back, beside the words Route of the Northliners, with the airline name in white on a red band. Founded in Clintonville, Wisconsin, in 1944 as Wisconsin Central Airlines, North Central grew into a major local service carrier with hubs including Minneapolis/St. Paul, Chicago O'Hare, Detroit and Milwaukee. It merged with Southern Airways in 1979 to form Republic Airlines.
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.
