Although the menu cover certainly seems appropriate for the expedition, it wasn’t used exclusively for this purpose. Minnesota History Center archives has at least one other instance of the same cover being used for a tour group in August, 1926 (after the expedition). The use of a GN-centric image on the cover is actually a bit out of character for the expedition, which tried to create the image that the trip was more for public education than rail publicity.
