Canadian Industry Menu Series

In 1930, Canadian Pacific put out a series of menus celebrating major industries in Canada, especially ones closely involved with the railway. Although each of the menus had cover paintings by Charles James Greenwood that wrapped around to the back covers, the curators of the Chung collection scanned the covers separately. As an option, I’ve made full covers as a separate PDF that you can download.

The first menu is dedicated to the producers of wheat and other grains in the Prairie Provinces. As the back cover says, nearly a billion bushels of grain were harvested in 1928, and most of it was probably carried on CP trains. Greenwood’s signature is on the front cover.

The second menu is called “lumbering,” but to be precise the cover image shows “logging” since there is no certainty that the logs being herded by the man in the picture will be used for lumber. “The world must have its newspaper,” says the back cover, but newspapers aren’t made out of lumber. Greenwood’s signature doesn’t appear on this menu cover.

Pulp and paper may have been the product of as much if not more timber cut from Canadian forests as lumber. Again, Greenwood’s signature doesn’t appear, but the artistic style is the same as the ones with his signature.

Unlike grain, lumber, and pulp & paper, electricity isn’t carried by Canadian Pacific trains. The connection instead goes the other way: as the text on the back notes, “the Canadian Pacific, with its thousands of stations, its palatial hotels, its mammoth shops, farms, irrigation-projects, coal-mines and towering grain-elevators” is “one of the largest users of electricity” in Canada. This menu cover has Greenwood’s signature on the back.
