Canadian Pacific 1934 Hula Menu

We’ve previously seen a circa 1929 menu with a painting of a hula dancer on the cover. This cover is less colorful but, I am sure, no less fascinating to the members of the Massachusetts-Rhode Island Knights Templar traveling to the Pacific Northwest through the Canadian Rockies. The lunch menu is dated July 17, 1934, the same as yesterday’s breakfast menu.

While yesterday’s menu advertised a Canadian Pacific hotel (which members of the tour were probably going to stay at), this one was designed to advertise trips on CP’s ocean liners, the Empress of Japan and Empress of Canada, which stopped on Honolulu on their way to Japan, the Philippines, and China. CP’s White Empress liners, the back of the menu says, featured “luxurious appointments, unobtrusive perfection of service by European and Oriental stewards, [and] Royal Naval Reserve officers.”

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.

The Algonquin, St. Andrews

St. Andrews in Scotland is known as the “home of golf,” and while the St. Andrews in New Brunswick was not named after the one in Scotland, someone decided to make it into a golf resort as well. They built the Algonquin Hotel, which opened in 1893, and its associated golf course (pictured on the cover of this menu) opened in 1894. Both were purchased by Canadian Pacific in 1903.

This dining car menu is dated July 15, 1934 for a special train of the Massachusetts-Rhode Island Knights Templar taking a trip “through the wonderland of the West” to the Pacific Northwest and Canada. Breakfast included sliced peaches; cereals with cream; a choice of Pacific Coast fish, calf’s liver, or eggs with ham or bacon; potatoes; bread or griddle cakes with maple syrup; and a beverage. The back cover describes the Algonquin and four other Canadian Pacific hotel/resorts in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.

The Royal Alexandra Hotel Breakfast Menu

Opening in 1906, Winnipeg’s Royal Alexandra Hotel was one of the first Canadian Pacific hotels to depart from the chateau style that characterized such hotels as the Frontenac and Banff Springs. As a result, although luxurious on the inside, it didn’t look much different from an ordinary office building on the outside, and in fact was somewhat darker than shown in the illustration on the cover of this menu. On the other hand, with just 90,000 residents in 1906, Winnipeg was not a huge metropolis like Montreal or Toronto, so the Royal Alex (as locals called it) was almost certainly the tallest building in the city at the time.

Guests included such notables as King George VI in 1939 and Princess Elizabeth in 1951, returning as Queen Elizabeth II in 1959. A circa 1930 booklet about the hotel can be viewed or downloaded from the University of British Columbia’s Chung Collection. Continue reading

Place Viger Dining Car Menu

Canadian Pacific built Place Viger to be its Montreal hotel in 1898. The lower floors also served as CP’s train station. The hotel closed in 1935, and for several decades the railway didn’t have a hotel in Montreal even though that was its headquarters city. This dining car menu featuring the hotel on the cover is part of CP’s Expression Series, which also had small images of a dozen hotels (including Place Viger) on the back.

The other menus in this series that we’ve seen show the Chateau Frontenac, Banff Springs Hotel, Hotel Vancouver, and Empress Hotel on the covers. I’ve also seen one with Calgary’s Palliser Hotel. Presumably there are ones for the other six hotels shown on the backs as well. Continue reading

The Golden Harvest of the West

We’ve seen this menu cover before from the Chung collection. Today’s menu is from my own collection. The Chung menu was dated 1930 and this one is dated 1928. Both are dinner menus, so they allow us to see how menus changed in those two years.

The trim around the interior menu pages is printed in a light blue-green on the 1928 menu and a golden brown on the 1930 menu. The 1930 trip is also more Art Nouveauish, while in 1928 it was just geometric designs. The font in 1928 was a little more readable, using both upper and lower case letters instead of just upper case in 1930. Continue reading

Winter Sports in Old Quebec

Here’s a menu we haven’t seen before in what I call the Fresco series, as the cover painting is designed to look like it was painted on a plaster wall. We’ve previously seen a menu in this series featuring winter sports in Banff. This one highlights winter sports in Quebec. As a later menu pointed out and the cover on this one implies, people could learn to ski not far from the Chateau Frontenac.

The Riel Rebellion Menu

We’ve seen this menu before from the Chung collection. That one was a “mid-day” menu for the Imperial, Canadian Pacific’s premiere year-round train. This one has the same ambiguously labeled Trans-Canada Limited menu as yesterday’s Snow Plow menu.

Louis Riel was a metis — half Indian, half white — upset with poor treatment by the Canadian government. He first led a rebellion in 1869 and it took 95 days for troops from Toronto to reach Fort Garry (Winnipeg). The troops were victorious but Riel, having fled to the United States, lived to start another rebellion in 1885. Although the Canadian Pacific was not yet complete, the railroad was able to deliver troops to Manitoba in just ten days, partly over rails and partly marching on rail right-of-way. In 1927, the railroad was proud of its role in suppressing the revolt but today might not be so proud of supporting policies that violated treaties and discriminated against people because of their heritage.

Canadian Pacific 1927 Snow Plough Menu

Here’s another menu in the Confederation series that I didn’t find in the Chung collection. The cover compares an early locomotive-mounted wedge plow with a then-modern rotary snow plow. The back cover claims that “The development of the mechanical or rotary snow plough was largely due to cooperation by the Canadian Pacific” which first experimented with one in 1883 and in 1910 “designed new heavy-service ploughs, the largest ever built.”

First Canadian Pacific Troop Ship

Canada became a nation in 1867. Fifty years later it was in the midst of a world war, so it waited until the 60th anniversary to have a major celebration. We’ve previously seen more than a dozen Canadian Pacific menus commemorating this date (and particularly CP’s role in building the nation) from the Chung collection, but this wasn’t one of them.
