Dinner menu from the souvenir booklet of the Complimentary Excursion to General Passenger & Ticket Agents, with a be-ribboned golden dinner bell suspended from a nail on the left-hand side of the menu and a crab holding an up-ended wine bottle in its claws on the right-hand side. A quotation at the top reads, "That all softening overpowering knell, The tocsin of the soul — the dinner bell!" The excursion was sponsored by the National Association of General Passenger and Ticket Agents for members traveling via rail from Chicago, Illinois, to the association's semi-annual meeting in St. Paul, Minnesota.
September 1887
