The Canadian Achievement Series: Forestry

Canadian National issued a series of menus featuring wood cuts celebrating various Canadian industries. This one describes “forestry,” by which they mean logging, as I doubt Canada had gotten into “forestry” (meaning planting and growing new crops of trees) when this menu came out. Scans of this menu were kindly contributed by a Streamliner Memories reader.

Table d’hôte dinners cost $1.25 featuring an omelet, boiled ham, chicken a la king, lamb chops, beef ribs, or jellied tongue with chicken. Sirloin steak bumped the price up to $1.50 while fish reduced it to $1.00 but didn’t come with as many side dishes. Assuming this is from 1940, multiply prices by 13 to get current U.S. dollars.
