      Cities on the "Fox-Wisconsin River Highway" map (North to South): Green Bay #739-21 -- Red Banks -- De Pere -- Wrightstown -- Kaukauna -- Little Chute -- Kimberly -- Appleton #739-21a -- Menasha #739-21b -- Neenah #739-21c -- Oshkosh #739-21d -- Butte des Morts #739-21e -- Winneconne -- Omro -- Eureka -- Berlin #739-21f -- Green Lake -- Princeton #739-21g -- Montello #739-21h -- Portage #739-21i
      The original source of the map is unknown. It is also unknown whether there was an actual highway marker sign in 1934 as displayed on the cachet, or whether Mr. Peirce, or someone else, drew the design just for the cachet. The term "Fox-Wisconsin River Highway" is found in various records of that time, but I can't find that the roads from Green Bay to Portage nearest the river ever displayed any public use of that term. I can't find when the term was first used.
      I vaguely recall reading or hearing years ago a story about someone who made the entire day trip for Mr. Peirce servicing all 1,000 of these covers, 100 in Green Bay and 100 in each of the 9 unofficial cities. The unofficials were not pictured in Planty, so I have assigned numbers to each of the unofficials in the order the cancels were applied. The Green Bay machine cancel with a typed address is pictured in Planty and the hand cancel with a hand written address is displayed here. These are the only two examples I have seen for Green Bay. Every unofficial cover I have seen has Charley Peirce's printed address. I have seen no varieties of unofficial cancels.

U.S. Scott #739-22 - Green Bay Philatelic Society (GBPS) -- VII:10 -- {A}
TBA -- This exists in at least 5 other colors, on plain and air mail envelopes, and with 21 or more unofficial cancels. I have no scans of any air mail bordered covers and no cancels other than Green Bay machine and hand cancels.
U.S. Scott #739-22-Filler - Green Bay Philatelic Society (GBPS) -- VII:10 -- {A}
This 6-3/4" x 12-1/2" flyer, folded in half to make 4-pages, and folded in half again, was found in a few of my covers. It is likely that every cover sold 90 years ago (as of March 2024) had this flyer in it. Even with the flyer each cover only weighs 0.3 oz.
