$40.00

Henry Wilson started a small store in 1906 and later expanded to a larger general store with men’s ladies’ and children’s wear. Tokens were issued around 1920 to facilitate the butter and egg trade and were used until 1936. In 1950 the store was sold to J. Kinzel and Mr. Wilson retired. The round set of tokens were issued first and were replaced by the scalloped set in 1923 due to rumors that the round tokens were a contravention of the currency act.
