  This is actually a menu for a military Christmas Dinner, not a booklet.

  I tried feeding the prices into the calculator at www.measuringworth.com/ukcompare/ for 1906 (when Central Station first opened), 1919 (for the twitterer), 1925, and 1950. I doubled the result amount to get AU$ in current value. The 1906 date gave prices for 9d spirit glasses roughly the same as today (c.$6), but the 'quarts' seemed prohibitively expensive at over $100. Is a quart the same as a bottle? The 1950 date gave exceedingly cheap 9d glasses (c.$2), but the quarts were roughly equivalent to today (c.$33). I am inclined to the earlier (1906) date - they were profiteering on the quarts! The SMH has reports of the new Central Railway Refreshment Rooms being the place of regular Sunday booze-ups, because everywhere else was closed. trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/14758653

  The plastic lettering looks post-war, maybe 1946-47. I've seen this photo in NSWGR literature from the period, just have to find it.

  It seems the name of the Barber Shop here was " Jimmy's Barber Shop". Heres a bit more history about the location www.forensicgenealogy.info/contest_137_results.html

  I am not 100% sure but at least 99% that this picture by Abbott was taken under assignment for Life magazine. You may want to check the Time Life Archives hosted by Google to make sure their is no copyright violation. I don't believe that to be the case since it is posted here for public viewing. Pictures are available for personal use and but not commercial use. I just thought I mention this as an FYI.
