Indian Days 1958 Lunch Menu

Unusually, this menu has two photos on the cover, as if some graphics artist didn’t like the “wasted” white space on some other Canadian Pacific menu covers. The back cover has several paragraphs about Indian days followed by a one-sentence paragraph explaining the second photo: “Not far away, in the very shadow of Banff Springs Hotel, Bow Falls is a scenic attraction becoming increasingly well known to thousands of travellers.”
