Royal York Hotel Dining Car Menu

Here we have another black-and-white photo on the cover of a Dominion menu, this one for lunch. The lamb-chops test tells us that, like yesterday’s menu, this one is from 1932-1935.

Inside, in addition to listing foods, this menu (along with yesterday’s) advertises a “Descriptive booklet, ‘Your Journey Through the Canadian Rockies'” for 25 cents (about US$3.25 today). We’ve seen the 1928 edition of this booklet. Based on the Chung collection, Canadian Pacific issued a booklet by this name at least as early as 1926 and continued to do so at least through 1946. The 25-cent price first appears in the 1932 edition; in 1946, it was upped to 35 cents (about US$3.75 today).
