In August, 1923, Kiwanis Clubs in northern Minnesota took a trip to Watertown, South Dakota, probably for a regional meeting of some kinds. Along the way, they were served breakfast, lunch, and dinner from this menu featuring a glued-on, hand-colored photo of Glacier National Park’s Swiftcurrent Lake on the cover.

Swiftcurrent is a large lake and it is possible to take many beautiful photos of it featuring mountains in the background or the Many Glacier Hotel. The lake empties out into another lake via a dramatic waterfall. Yet none of these features are shown in the cover illustration on this menu, which instead hides most of the lake, crops out the waterfall (which would be in the lower left), and instead prominently displays a building that, as near as I can tell, is a private residence for hotel or park employees.
The unpriced menus are bound into the cover with the decorative string shown in the image. Breakfast offered omelet, eggs, or French toast; lunch was chicken a la king or lamb chops; dinner included whitefish, calf’s sweetbreads, or prime rib.
