Columbia River Special Stationery

Posted on November 20, 2018 by Train LoverAugust 25, 2018

The on-board stationery for the Upper Missouri Expedition included an image of the gold seal, leather strip, and beads that were attached to the expedition’s invitation. The stationery for the Columbia River Expedition was much simpler, merely giving the name of the event and “en route.”

Although the menu cover certainly seems appropriate for the expedition, it wasn’t used exclusively for this purpose. Minnesota History Center archives has at least one other instance of the same cover being used for a tour group in August, 1926 (after the expedition). The use of a GN-centric image on the cover is actually a bit out of character for the expedition, which tried to create the image that the trip was more for public education than rail publicity.

Columbia River Expedition Invitation

Posted on November 18, 2018 by Train LoverAugust 25, 2018

Great Northern’s invitation to the Upper Missouri Historical Expedition was bigger than 13″ by 20″, and I’ve never seen one folded so it must have been delivered in an even bigger envelope. This invitation to the Columbia River Historical Expedition is a much more modest 7-1/2″ by 11″, yet is still impressive.

Where the Upper Missouri invitation was built around the image of a beaver pelt, this one is based on a sailing ship, perhaps the Columbia, which American captain Robert Grey used to explore the Northwest and discover the Columbia River (which he named after his ship). The Missouri invitation had a golden seal affixed to it that also held a small leather strip with beads. This invitation shows a similar seal and beads, but they are merely printed on.

The Owatonna Thunderbolt

Posted on November 17, 2018 by Train LoverAugust 25, 2018

The person on this 1926 menu cover was Minnesota’s most famous football star at the time. Herb Joesting grew up in Owatonna, Minnesota, where his high school football performance earned him the nickname “Owatonna Thunderbolt.” He then became a star fullback at the University of Minnesota, setting several records in his junior year, when this menu was issued.

Joesting went on to play both professional basketball and professional football including a year spent with the Chicago Bears. But his lasting legacy was as a college player, including the 1927 season in which the Gophers outscored their opponents by 209 to 51. Joesting was named All-American fullback in both 1926 and 1927.

Reindeer Recipes

Posted on November 16, 2018 by Train LoverNovember 30, 2018

This 1925 breakfast menu has an image of caribou, also known as reindeer, on the cover. There isn’t any reason given for it; the back cover has an article about the improvement in freight train productivity, and none of the meats on the menu are caribou.

The explanation may be found in a little booklet the Great Northern issued at about the same time with nearly the same cover. Domestic reindeer meat imported from Alaska, the railway hoped, would become the latest fad, and it promised to include reindeer on some of its menus (but didn’t on the breakfast menu above).

National Apple Week

Posted on November 15, 2018 by Train LoverAugust 25, 2018

The state of Washington produces the vast majority of apples grown in the United States, and most are grown in the Yakima or Wenatchee valleys (or valleys tributary to Wenatchee such as the Okanogan Valley). Northern Pacific and Union Pacific competed for Yakima Valley traffic, but Great Northern had Wenatchee and its tributaries all to itself, so naturally the railroad promoted Wenatchee apples on many of its menus.

This menu was issued during National Apple Week, October 31-November 6, 1925. Nearly all of the items on the menu feature apples, though it is hard to imagine parents would accept an apple cobler, apple fritter, or baked apple with cream as an entrée followed by apple pie or apple pudding for dessert. The back cover has a helpful guide to fifteen apple varieties, about half of which are familiar today and half are rare. Continue reading →

Great Northern Special Event Menus

Posted on November 14, 2018 by Train LoverAugust 25, 2018

With their ornate borders surrounding a field providing room for a glue-on photo above and the name of the party below, these menus were clearly designed to be used for tours or special events. The ragged edge and string binding (superfluous when there is no menu insert) add touches of elegance to the menus.

Adorned with a photo of Mt. Grinnell taken from near the Many Glacier Hotel, this menu was used at a Great Northern employees dinner in Minneapolis. Inside, an insert is bound into the menu with a string, but this was unnecessary as just two of the four pages of the insert were printed. Continue reading →

Glacier Park Wildflowers and Waterfalls

Posted on November 13, 2018 by Train LoverAugust 25, 2018

The first menu today has a Walter Loos painting that we’ve previously seen inside the 1927 edition of Great Northern’s Call of the Mountains. GN commissioned Loos to make a number of these wildflower paintings; most of the originals were probably displayed in the Glacier Park hotels and copies were later mounted in the spaces between the dining car windows of the 1947 streamlined Empire Builder.

Washington Menus

Posted on November 12, 2018 by Train LoverAugust 25, 2018

The first Great Northern menu today has a cover that seems to have been custom-designed for one tour, in this case of a trade tour for Spokane merchants. The image on the cover shows an industrialized Spokane Falls; I recently had dinner at a restaurant that had pretty much this view of the falls.

Inside this 16-page booklet are menus for ten different meals, including every meal from noon September 15 through evening of September 18 except for dinner on September 16, during which the meal was presumably eaten off the train, probably in Minneapolis or St. Paul. Most of the unpriced dinners offer just two entrées, though some lunches offer three and breakfasts four or more. Continue reading →

It isn’t clear whether this menu was used for a special trains of, say, travel writers or agents, or if it was used as a standard menu on board the train itself. Though the latter seems unlikely, the menu in the centerfold is pretty standard, offering Great Northern’s chicken pot pie (which was a specialty of its dining cars) or a vegetable or fish dinner for 75 cents (about $11 today) or a sirloin steak, among other a la carte items, for $1.35 (about $19 today).
