Nite Owls Menu, T & M Mart, Houston 1950s Montana Over the 143 years thatThis charming late 1950s menu features a dapper pair of owls, all dressed up in evening finery in order to entice diners to come to an all night diner. "OPEN ALL NIGHT. Come on over for a bed time snack before you call it a night. You will feel better in the morning," says the menu from the T&M Mart in Houston, Texas, which has sadly closed. The cheapest item on the menu was 25 cent sandwiches and no alcohol was served. Courtesy Private Collection.
