Liquor Hours Referendum

Photograph

This took place on 24 March 1956. The question asked was,

Are you in favour of the extension of Hotel Trading Hours on Week Days until 10 o’clock in the evening?

At the time “early closing” was in force and hotels closed at 6.00 pm. The Victorian Local Option Alliance, the Temperance lobby, produced fliers and stickers, examples of which are on display, with the slogan, “Stick to six in fifty-six.”
