More CP Menus from the 1920s and 1930s

Today we have four more menus from the Chung collection that don’t appear to be a part of any series. The last two, however, do resemble one another, but it is probably a coincidence rather than by design.

The first menu has a black-and-white cover photo that shows a lake in Quebec’s Laurentian Mountains. This was a dinner menu on the Dominion; though I can’t find a date, the UBC Library thinks it was from 1927. Putting a black-and-white photo, especially one not taken by Canadian Pacific photographers, on the cover was quite a departure from the color paintings that graced most CP menus around this time.

Here’s another menu that has no date, but is probably from much later. It was a lunch menu on the Kootenay Express, a train which took the southern route from Medicine Hat to Vancouver between 1931 and 1964. While this was a highly scenic route, it never really made money for CP, which probably built it mainly to defend itself against incursions in southern British Columbia by the Great Northern Railway. The cover mentions Henry Stevens as Minister of Commerce, a position he held from 1930 to 1934, so the menu must be from some time between 1931 and 1934.

This 1926 lunch menu used in the Chateau Lake Louise dining room shows a couple eating in that dining room. Although I’m mainly showing dining car menus from the Chung collection, I’m including this one because of its passing resemblance to the one below.

Here’s another menu showing two people looking out a window, this one in the Banff Springs Hotel. This menu was used on the Empress of Asia and was issued eight years after the Lake Louise menu above. Although both these menus feature windows, they aren’t really designed alike and the many years between them argues against them being a series.
