Farm Breakfast Menu

This menu cover was designed especially for breakfast and promises milk from cows, eggs from chickens, bacon from pigs, and maybe there’s a wheat or corn field somewhere to provide cereal. Of course, there’s a C&NW 400 train in the background.

As promised, the meals inside are mostly eggs and ham or bacon, though there are also griddle cakes and French toast. Six fruits and juices, a dozen kinds of hot or cold cereal, and a few different kinds of bread were also available. The most expensive meal on this 1961 menu was $2, or about $17.50 in today’s money.
