The back of this menu describes New Brunswick and mentions that “its streams — like the famous Restigouche, Miramachi and Matapedia — bring sportsmen from far away to fish for salmon.” Based on photos I’ve found on line, I suspect the cover photo shows the Restigouche River.

This is a typical CN menu with a la carte on one side and beverages on the other. Normally, a table d’hôte menu of the day would be inserted, and indeed in this case a menu is stapled inside. I didn’t want to harm the menu by removing the staple so I left the insert covering the beverage menu. The menu doesn’t say, but the items — things like beef stew, chicken pie, corned beef hash — look more like lunch than dinner.

Unfortunately, the menu has no date. However, we’ve seen other CN menus like this one — a skewed photo on the cover surrounded by background graphics — that were dated 1952 through 1955, so this one must be from around that time.
