More Pool Train Menus

The first cover drawing features a replica of the first permanent settlement in what would become Canada. The menu inside is table d’hôte only and offers luncheons for $1.75 (omelet, curried chicken, pork chop with spaghetti, assorted cold meats), $1.50 (fish or salmon which, last I heard, was also a fish), or $1.25 (fruit, salmon, or combination salads). Since the pool trains operated in Quebec, the menu is bilingual.
