- Charlevoix Sentinel, December 15, 1932, “Mail Service to Beaver Island Let to Schneider.”Reports that Karl R. Schneider of Detroit was awarded the 1932–1933 winter contract to deliver St. James mail twice weekly, with extra trips when required and a stated payment of $48 per week. The held OCR sequence has a conflicting 1933 year in one adjacent masthead; the contract year and surrounding December 1932 issue sequence support a circa-December-1932 placement. It does not provide a postal contract copy, aircraft, pilot log, route record, or later service outcome. No public copy of this file is known; the archive holds one and can provide it on request.
