Alaska, Atlin and the Yukon

We’ve seen a booklet like this before, with a cover illustration by John Segesman and text by Frederick Niven. When I presented the other booklet, I noted that the White Pass Route issued several such booklets over the years, probably in the 1930s, and included several covers by Segesman. I specifically said I thought this one was a later booklet because of its more modern, semi-abstract style.

Now that I have a copy of this booklet, I’ve changed my mind. The other booklet has seven or eight other color paintings by Segesman that must have been costly to reproduce, while this one only has the cover painting. So I suspect this was the earlier one and the editions with more color interiors came out as print costs declined and/or the economy recovered from the Depression. Continue reading

CN 1966 Atlantic Provinces Menu

Today’s menu features a collage of photos from Canada’s Atlantic provinces. “Sun on sand and sea, glinting fishing stream and green golf course — there’s fun and warm hospitality in Canada’s Atlantic provinces,” says the caption.

While yesterday’s menu was for dinner, presumably in the dining car, this one is for “dinette car service.” It may actually be an improvement on the dinner menu. Like yesterday’s, it has three entrées: sole (instead of unspecified fish), chicken pot pie, and a cold ham plate. Yesterday’s also had seven sandwiches, but this one adds a hamburger. This one also has more desserts as well as vanilla, strawberry, or chocolate milkshakes.

CN 1965 Alaska Menu

Here’s another in Canadian National’s series of tall menus — they are 5-1/4″ wide by 11-3/4″ tall — that were issued in the mid-1960s.

CN Red, White & Blue Menus

Red, white, and blue are the colors of the American flag. But they were also the colors of the Canadian flag, which incorporated the British union jack, before 1965. For those Canadians who felt they owed more allegiance to France than to England, they are also the colors of the French flag.

About the time these menus were issued, CN also adopted a “red, white and blue” fare plan, an early form of what the airlines call yield management today, in order to entice travelers back to the trains. I suspect that is what the colors of these menus are referring to. Unfortunately, the 45-degree angle makes me think more of a barber shop than a restaurant. Continue reading

1963 Jasper Brochure

By the early 1960s, CN appeared to be relying primarily on brochures, not booklets, to advertise Jasper Park. True, we’ve seen this booklet from 1964, but it is not only much smaller than the Jasper booklets from the 1920s through the 1950s, it also earned my nomination for the “worst-designed advertising presented on Streamliner Memories.” CN obviously wasn’t relying on it enough to put a real effort into its design.

Wrangell Totem Pole 1960 Menu

The color photo on this menu features totem poles in Wrangell, Alaska, a scene that was also covered on one of the color painting menus. The back cover doesn’t advertise Jasper but instead has a photo of Percé Rock on Quebec’s Gaspé peninsula. This rock was visible from CN trains and more recently from VIA trains, but that train was cancelled a few years ago.

The Inside Passage 1960 Menu

Sometime in the late 1950s CN replaced the color illustrations that appeared on the covers of their Alaska steamship menus with color photos instead. These photos were accompanied by some text and graphics, making them similar to some dining car menus of the same period.

Jasper Lounge Dinner Menu

Here’s a Jasper Lodge dinner menu whose cover photo we haven’t seen before. It shows the lounge of the Jasper Park Lodge, “a nice place to relax.” The Northwest Indian art over the fireplace is nice, but the rest of it looks right out of the 1950s. No wonder, it’s dated July 16, 1958.

1956 Jasper Brochure

We’ve seen an 11″x8-1/2″ 36-page booklet about Jasper from 1956. This fold-out brochure has the equivalent of eight pages in the typical railroad 8″x9″ format, though actually they are 7-1/2″x9-1/2″. Other than a few photos, the two don’t have a lot in common.

Canada’s Western Wonderlands

Borrowing a phrase from Union Pacific (which had published western wonderlands’ booklets and brochures at least since 1929), this 26-page booklet (including a foldout in the back) describes the attractions to be found in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, and British Columbia. It emphasizes, of course, that people can reach these attractions on CN’s Super Continental and Continental.
