I don't have a 1950s dinner menu, but do have an advertisement postcard
from 1934 mailed by Gristedes Supermarket (still active here in the East)
advertising prime ribsteak for $0.19 per pound and choice sirloin for 27
cents/pound (among other sale items).

You can't use this, but perhaps someone else might find this interesting.
