    Does anyone know of a place ( Internet site or museum) where one can read or consult old chicago restaurants menus dating back to the 1935-1955 period?

    The Research Center at the Chicago History Museum has a collection of Chicago menus. I don't think an online catalog is available.

    The Los Angeles Public Library has over sixty old Chicago menus available online. Go to their Menu Collection page and enter "Chicago."

    Another useful resource is eBay. Often whole-page scans are uploaded. Even if you don't want to buy, you are free to look.
