McClures, Melbourne, Australia, 1975

Notes from the collector: A family style restaurant on a busy thoroughfare near downtown Melbourne. From memory, the price changes on the menu were handmade and pretty ordinary, but a new government raised wages overnight by some thirty per cent! I talked to the owners years later and he said they lost half a million dollars in their first year of business because they had no idea of how to run a restaurant They made a fortune selling a large wholesale business and decided to open a restaurant. They didn't seek any help so suffered the consequences.
