More Chateau Lake Louise Dinner Menus

Here are two more menus which, like the menus shown in the past three days, are dated July 11, 1954 and have the same dinner offerings. We’ve also seen both of the cover photos on other menus.

The menu showing the swimming pool (along with a horseback rider with someone strangely standing in the horse’s way) was previously seen on a 1949 lunch menu used at the Chateau. Since both of these menus, as well as the dinner menus shown in the last three days, use a similar format to CP’s dining car menus of that era, it is possible that a menu with this cover photo was used on a dining car.

There is no doubt that a menu with this photo was used on a CP dining car. In fact, we’ve seen this photo on menus for the Mountaineer, Montreal-Toronto pool trains, the Banff Springs Hotel, and an Alaska steamship. All of the menus are formatted a little differently, with various colors of backgrounds and slight variations in the cover text. Unfortunately, the cover of this particular menu is slightly damaged, but if you want to see an undamaged photo, just look at one of other menus.
