B&O Lunch Card

This menu is undated but I suspect it’s from around 1950. It also doesn’t say what meal it is for, but lunch seems reasonable as many of the offerings are lunch-like: hot chicken sandwich, beef stew, mushroom omelet, and several sandwiches.

Unlike many menu cards, the back of this one isn’t blank. Instead, it encourages people to visit Washington, “the city of a thousand thrills” and “shrine of American patriotism.” I can think of some other phrases I would use to describe Washington, but it wouldn’t be appropriate to put them here.
