I have a history of Northwest Airlines, "Flight to the Top" by Kenneth D
Ruble. It contains a Northwest Airways route map, originally published in
The St. Paul Daily News of June 15, 1930. It shows service to Sioux City
from St. Paul and on to Omaha but no further.



I grew up with the "Northwest Orient (pause) ...Airlines" jingle.

(From Wikipedia)
On 1 October 1986, Northwest purchased its competitor, Minneapolis-St.
Paul-based Republic Airlines and adopted its three-hub network centered
around Minneapolis-St. Paul, Detroit, and Memphis. Northwest dropped the
word Orient from its brand name after the merger. The legal name has been
Northwest Airlines since 1934.

....which is why 'Steven's' 1930 map is a "Northwest Airways" route map.

Found that interesting, in an airline history kind of way.
