Here’s another menu that was probably used on the Mainstreeter. Compared with yesterday’s lunch menu, this one has a slightly more elaborate illustration of a train at the top of the menu rather than the bottom. The meals on the front of the card are also more elaborate, but the a la carte side is identical to the lunch menu.

The table d’hôte meals offered fresh fish, veal cutlets, or sugar cured ham all for around $3.00 (around $26.50 today). These meals come with soup or juice, appetizer, Big Baked Potato, asparagus, salad, corn muffins, dessert, and beverage. The plate dinner for $1.95 (about $17 today) was roast turkey or fish with vegetables, muffins, beverage, and dessert. The $1.40 salad was a “combination salad,” raisin toast, beverage, and Kadota figs for dessert.
