CN Children’s Menu

A cute Teddy bear named Rags, pictures of CN’s streamlined Northern locomotive, and nursery rhymes about riding the CN fill most of the eight pages of this 1948 menu. The menu itself occupies just two halves of the centerfold.

Mast viagra professional australia Mood oil is one of the highly acclaimed herbal supplements for erectile dysfunction. Many couples purchase viagra online find it completely success for using this product. cialis 5 mg VigRX Plus is the male enhancement and virility supplement. Those who suffer from the following should consult their doctor before taking any medication: – Kidney problems- Previous stroke- High or low blood pressure- If you are allergic to Sildenafil Citrate- Heart conditions such as, generic cialis tadalafil angina, an irregular heartbeat, chest pain or any other related problem- Sickle cell anemia or leukemia- Certain deformities to the penis which results in failure in attaining a harder erection.
The menu is divided into breakfast, dinner, and supper, which is what gave me the clue that earlier Canadian menus were labeled mid-day and evening to avoid confusion between those who regard “dinner” as a mid-day meal and those who think of it as an evening meal. The children’s meals ranged in price from 25 cents (about $2 today) to 85 cents (about $7 today).

Triangle Route, 1948

Here’s the 1948 edition of Canadian National’s prewar booklet about the Triangle Route between Jasper, Prince Rupert, and Vancouver. CN marketing has completely rewritten the booklet, reusing only a few photos from the 1940 edition. The cover photo is a great improvement as it shows the train and suggests that passengers will get an excellent view of mighty Mt. Robson.

Aside from the cover photo, there seems to be only one color photo in the entire booklet. This is strange as nearly every page has a four-color illustration or graphic, suggesting the cost of adding more color photos would have been modest.

There’s no date on this brochure, but based on the black-and-white photos that litter the back, and the fact that I have a similarly formatted 1949 brochure that I’ll post in a few days that has almost all color photos, I’m going to say this came out around 1946 through 1948.

One of the black-and-white photos shows the Dominion in Banff National Park. Nicholas Morant’s Canadian Pacific has this same photo on page 144, unhelpfully dating it from “the late 1940s.” Since that could be as early as 1946, my date range is likely.

1941 Kicking Horse Pass Menu

The colorized photo on this menu cover shows a train, probably the Dominion judging by the minimal head-end cars, approaching the summit of Kicking Horse Pass in the Rocky Mountains with Popes Peak in the background. The back of the menu says nothing about the photo and is instead written in praise of steam. “The Canadian Pacific has unwavering faith in steam, the power that has been behind every step of its march to become the World’s Greatest Travel System.”

In other words, two years after the General Motors FT led American railway officials to order hundreds of the Diesel locomotives, Canadian Pacific was proclaiming that it would remain committed to steam despite its higher operating costs, poor service record, and frequent demands for fuel and water. In reality, it was probably wartime restrictions that prevented CP and CN from buying Diesels in 1940 and 1941.

1941 Mountie Menu

The scarlet jacket of the RCMPs, or mounties, is known throughout the world, and Canadian Pacific loved to show it off in its advertising. Beneath the photo on this 1941 menu are the words, “Karsh Ottawa, Courtesy McLean’s Magazine.” Karsh is not a location but the name of Canada’s soon-to-be best-known photographer, Yousuf Karsh. Karsh was a relative unknown when this menu was issued, but a few months after it came out, he took a photo of Winston Churchill that has been called the most reproduced photo in the world and that made Karsh internationally famous.

The menu itself has a table d’hôte side that features meals for either $1 or $1.25 ($12.50 or $15.50 today). The $1 meals offer a choice of Lake Winnipeg goldeye, halibut, whitefish, or Lake Superior trout. The $1.25 meals include curried chicken, roast leg of lamb, beef ribs, or cold meats. The a la carte side includes any of the fish from the table d’hôte side for 50 cents, plus Canadian Pacific’s dizzying array of other entrées: steaks, ham, bacon, lamb chops, and various egg dishes.

Jasper National Park, 1940

This is a 52-page booklet with a fold-out map on the inside back cover. The front cover photo wraps around to the back, so I elected to put both the front and the back on the same spread. The fold-out map has Jasper National Park on one side and the area around Jasper Park Lodge on the other.

In addition to the cover, the booklet has seven color photos which, by-lines promise, are “natural color” pictures. That may be true, but the photo on page 20 looks heavily retouched, possibly just to clean up the automobile.

Canadian Rockies via the Triangle Route

Half-owned by the Canadian government, CN’s trains were never quite as elegant, its transcontinental route was longer, and its mountain scenery wasn’t quite as spectacular as CP’s. But CN had one thing that CP did not: a line to a second West Coast port, Prince Rupert, in addition to Vancouver. Add a steamship trip from Prince Rupert to Vancouver and CN could offer a “Triangle” tour of continuous scenery, even if much of it was limited to deep, evergreen forests.

The cover photo shows Mt. Robson near Yellowhead Pass in the Rockies. At 3,718 feet, CN’s pass through the Rockies was 1,620 feet lower than CP’s Kicking Horse Pass. Since Mt. Robson is nearly 13,000 feet high, it hangs close to 10,000 feet above CP tracks. Views of this mountain were considered the scenic highlight of CN’s route, which (being lower in elevation) was otherwise surrounded by dense forests much of the way.

Color Photo Contest

This little booklet announces a color photography contest open to anyone (except CP employees) who registered as a guest with a Canadian Pacific hotel or lodge in the Rocky Mountains during 1939. The top prize was $250 (close to $3,400 today), with 46 additional prizes ranging from $5 to $100. The booklet notes that the Banff Springs Hotel and Chateau Lake Louise sold Kodachrome, Agfa, and Dufay film.

Many Canadian Pacific brochures about the stainless steel Canadian, as well as the company’s timetables in the 1950s and 1960s, used a yellow background with major headlines in red. This is the oldest Canadian Pacific memorabilia in my collection that uses this color scheme, though a search on the web reveals this 1928 timetable that used the same colors. Given that it painted its trains a dark red, why did it pick bright yellow and red–colors that by 1939 were already identified with the Union Pacific–for so much of its advertising?

This children’s booklet tells the history of Canadian travel in general and Canadian Pacific in particular through sixteen six-line poems and accompanying sketches. A card is glued to the inside back cover that contains a “secret” message for “Mother, Father, or Grown-ups only.” I didn’t open the secret message as doing so would have damaged the item.

The cover shows CP 4-4-4 locomotive number 3000. This was a rare class of locomotive; four trailing wheels are only needed to support a large firebox, and such a large firebox isn’t normally needed to support four driving wheels. Three American railroads built a total of six of this class of locomotive and none were successful. Canadian Pacific, which called them Jubilees, purchased five with 80-inch drivers in 1936 and twenty more with 75-inch drivers in 1937. It considered them fairly successful; one pulled a four-car train at 112.5 mph, setting the all-time speed record for Canadian steam locomotives.

Triangle Service Menu

From 1908 through the mid-1950s, Canadian Pacific offered steamship service on a “triangle route” between Vancouver, Seattle, and Victoria. This menu from that service offers a table d’hôte dinner with a choice of nine entrées for $1.50. Among others, the entrees include Fraser River salmon, scrambled calf’s brains, stuffed roast turkey, prime ribs, and roast tomatoes with mushrooms.

Unfortunately, the menu is undated, but it looks enough like yesterday’s Totem Poles menu and the previous day’s Empress Hotel menu that, like those menus, it is probably from around 1936. The inside shows a picture of a three-stack steamship that would have been either the first Princess Marguerite or the Princess Kathleen. These ships entered into service in 1925, so the menu must be from that year or later. Both ships were pressed into government service during World War II, during which the Marguerite was sunk, while the Kathleen was sunk due to poor navigation in 1952.
