Over all of the pioneer routes, flying companies were obliged to issue their own stamp-like stickers, which were sold and placed on the back of all covers. Most of them originally took on the job of their own free will, because it meant some added revenue and in those lean days, when every cent counted, the additional money earned often meant getting out of the red side of the ledger. All first class mail in Canada today, which weighs under eight ounces, is carried by air, wherever scheduled air lines operate.īack in the early thirties, however, the pioneer flying companies didn’t have too happy a time flying mail into the areas they served.
The carriage of mail by air to and from most of the settled areas in northern Canada has become such a reliable and frequent part of our country’s way of life, that it is now taken for granted.
