Did you know? (2)

Did you know that in the province of Quebec, there were 413 municipalities in 1915 that had statutes prohibiting the consumption of any alcohol? In comparison, there were 440 municipalities without any restrictions and 45 with partial restrictions. Moreover, only 72 alcohol bottlers were licenced to operate in 1915, a number which stood at 71 five years earlier.
