Colorado Lake 1939 Lunch Menu

Veterans of the 33rd Division going to the 1938 American Legion convention were served lunch from this menu, which has a photograph of a Colorado lake glued on the cover. Unfortunately, I don’t immediately recognize the lake.

Similar to yesterday’s breakfast menu, this one includes No. 1 and No. 2 unpriced lunches. Really, there are six since there are three entrĂ©es per lunch and almost everything else is the same except the choice of vegetables (one has peas or carrots and the other has peas and carrots) and desserts. Again, I suspect if someone wanted the veal cutlet from No. 1 and the peach pie from No. 2, the Burlington would have been happy to comply so long as it hadn’t run out of the pie
