Empress Hotel Dining Car Menu

This dining car menu is dated July 17, 1934 and was used on the same tour of the Massachusetts-Rhode Island Knights Templar as yesterday’s menu. Breakfast included sliced peaches; cereals with cream; a choice of salmon, lamb chop, ham, eggs, or bacon; potatoes; bread or griddle cakes with maple syrup; and a beverage.

The cover says the photo of the Empress Hotel was provided by Associated Screen News. Associated Screen was a movie company started by Canadian Pacific in 1920 to help publicize tourism in Canada, so in a sense it was really it was a Canadian Pacific photo. However, it seems to have operated as an independent company, not a subsidiary of CP.
