Dinner on the Oregon

Dining cars on the 1929 Empire Builder were named after states and Canadian provinces served by the Great Northern, and this dinner menu was used on the dining car Oregon. The menu from my collection is undated, but someone had written “1935?” on the inside (which I photoshopped out). A full dinner on 1930 and 1931 menus was $1.50, where here it is $1.25. Prices were reduced due to the Depression, so 1935 is a reasonable date, though it could have been a little earlier.
