Proctorville Ohio Token, 26th St Ferry Co, Steamer Paul F.Thomas - Return Trip

 

...Lumber Company Stores scrip...
One of the more common usages of tokens was by Lumber Mill Commissaries. Often the sawmill community consisted of only the mill, company offices, workers’ housing, and the commissary. This commissary frequently became the hub of social activity in the community, containing the post office and often being host to church services.Common commissary practices used by most lumber companies were designed to recover as much of the employee’s wages as possible.

Many mills paid laborers daily in tokens that could be used in the company owned commissary. Usually these tokens were exchanged for cash either weekly or monthly. Some companies would only pay cash should an employee accept a discount of between five and twenty percent. Other mills paid their workers in cash, but if an employee needed an advance against his wages he was given tokens.
