Last August, I posted a black-and-white menu of Old Faithful noting that it was the “seventh and, as far as I can tell, last of the Union Pacific black & white menus.” But here is an eighth showing Sun Valley, the resort that was just over two years old in 1939 when this menu was used.

The menu has two inserts, so I’ve scanned the interior pages twice, with and without the inserts. One insert in this coffee shop menu offers full meals centered around bass, lamb, veal loaf, or ham and green pepper omelet for 50 cents each (about $9 today) including potato, vegetable, bread, and beverage. The other insert advertises a “surprise your husband” radio show that tells housewives how they can get “housewives how they can get approved and tested recipes direct from the Union Pacific Research Kitchen.”
