| Description | A very interesting menu from The Pullman Company Chicago Commissary files from near the end of Pullman operations. This menu was sent to the printer (Pullman Press was no longer printing menus for the Commissary) for changes from a 1965 menu for the Union Pacific's Butte Special that ran between Butte, MT, Ogden, UT and Salt Lake City, UT as Pullman Line 679 into a new "R" version for 1966. A proof copy from the printer was requested. Very minor changes include the addition of a Vodka Martini and price increases on Cigars and Cigarettes. The old menu code of UP2-O-3C-B65 was changed to UP2-R-5C-F66. One historian who is extremely familiar with Pullman operations informs me that the "R" series menus were one of the last large series of menus produced. A nice piece of history showing changes between menus and how menus were updated by Pullman. |
