We’ve seen this cover photo before in a 1951 edition. The menu side of this one was issued February, 1957, with a reference to “CMStP&P,” suggesting that the meals were provided by the Milwaukee Road commissary. Many of the items … Continue reading

This menu featuring the Colorado State Capitol with its distinctive golden dome was, appropriately enough, used on the City of Denver. Issued in January, 1957, the table d’hôte side features salmon ($2.50), lamb chops ($3.25), meat pie ($2.35), pork loin … Continue reading
This beautiful image of Bryce Canyon was, appropriately, used for a menu in the Bryce, Grand Canyon, and Zion lodges. There’s no date, but I’ve seen the same menu cover on another menu dated 1958. Click image to download a … Continue reading
This menu from the City of Denver shows the Denver City & County Building. Though Denver supposedly has a consolidated city/county government, in fact Arapahoe County, of which Denver was the seat, was split from Denver in 1902 and Denver … Continue reading
This menu was issued February 10, 1955, for the City of St. Louis, but someone has pencilled “3-28-1955” on it, suggesting that it was actually used on that date. The menu has four main entrées: chef’s salad, filet of sole, … Continue reading

The caption on this rather boring photo of Oregon’s Willamette River says it shows the “Oregon Yacht Club” in Portland. That’s less impressive than it sounds, as the so-called Oregon Yacht Club is neither a club nor does it have … Continue reading
This menu has the same cover as the one from a couple of days ago. Inside, however, it is dated May 11, 1953, five months after the previous ones. It still has the same budget-menu format, but the prices have … Continue reading
This is the last of my budget-priced menus dated December 1, 1952. Known as Washington Agricultural College from 1890 to 1905 and as Washington State University after 1959, the menu says that, at 5,000 students, WSC was “the largest resident … Continue reading
