Chateau Lake Louise Dining Car Menu

The cover of this breakfast menu features the Chateau Lake Louise and even has a version of the Canadian Pacific logo made for the Chateau. But the menu was used on the Dominion, the railway’s premiere train from 1931 until displaced by the Canadian in 1955 (after which the Dominion continued to operate as a secondary train).

The menu is unusual, though not unique for a Canadian Pacific menu, for being in landscape mode rather than portrait mode. What’s particularly strange is that the graphic on the cover would have fit better in portrait mode.

Many Canadian Pacific menus have a date code at the bottom of one of the interior pages, but this one does not. Other than one or two menus for tour groups, neither my collection nor the Chung collection have any dining car menus dated 1932 through 1935, suggesting the railway didn’t use date codes in those years.

We do have one clue regarding the dates: the price of lamb chops, which seemed to be the same whether for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. From 1924 to 1927, lamb chops were 45 cents for one, 80 for two. From 1928 through 1931, they were 45 cents for one, 85 for two. By 1936, the Depression had dropped the price to 35 cents for one, 65 for two. In 1937 the price was even lower, 30 cents for one, 55 for two.

The price in this menu was 40 cents for one, 80 for two. I haven’t seen any menus offering two lamb chops for 70 or 75 cents, so I suspect the prices on this menu applied for the entire 1932-1935 period. I’ll conservatively date it to 1935.
