Visit the Brass Rail of New York . . . in Chicago. What?

The text lets us fix this brochure to the period before the World's Fair; the Brass Rail has been selected, not was. Why they think that serving 70 million meals is a guarantee of quality, I don't know - it just means they can cook a lot of stuff cheaply and quickly. And if there's been any poisoning, it hasn't reached class-action status.

In any case, the World's Fair Brass Rail looked nothing like its Moderne counterpart in Gotham, and nothing like the place above - unless the bizarre futurism of the exterior masked a throwback interior. Which isn't out of the question at all.
