Canadian Industry Series: Smelting

We’ve previously seen menus from the Chung collection in this series showing lumbering, pulp and paper, water power, and grain. Today we have one contributed by a Streamliner Memories reader featuring smelting.

Smelters convert raw ore into saleable products, and the text on the back of this menu laments that Canada only has ten smelters, which isn’t enough to process all the ore it produces. “For many years a close alliance has existed between the Canadian Pacific and this growing industry,” the menu claims. It might have occurred to some skeptical readers that Canadian Pacific freight rates kept more smelters from operating. (I don’t know that, but I’m sure some people would think that.)

This menu is marked for the Kootenay Express, a train that went on Canadian Pacific’s southern route from Medicine Hat to Vancouver. This route was slower and was probably built mainly to defend against incursions into southern British Columbia by the Great Northern Railway. Ironically, two of the primary investors in both the Great Northern and Canadian Pacific were the same people: George Stephen and Donald Smith.

The menu is undated, but it cites data from 1927, so it could be from 1928. The other menus in this series that we’ve seen are dated 1930. Menu prices didn’t change between 1928 and 1930, but the a la carte items on this menu are a little different from the 1930 menus, so I suspect this menu is from either 1928 or 1929.
