S. Colyan, General Manager. Scrip is secured between two pieces of acrylic for display. The Walker Iron and Coal Company, a producer of pig-iron, was located in Dade County, Georgia and owned by Joseph E. Brown. Company scrip could either be issued as an advance on a miners salary or in rural areas where cash was scarce used instead, all company scrip could only be used or exchanged at the company store. Many coal companies in the south utilized convict labor after the Civil War.&quot;</p><p><a href="http://georgiahistory.pastperfectonline.com/webobject/2CCA7A65-622E-4B2D-B23C-392244844100" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://georgiahistory.pastperfectonline.com/webobject/2CCA7A65-622E-4B2D-B23C-392244844100" rel="nofollow">http://georgiahistory.pastperfectonline.com/webobject/2CCA7A65-622E-4B2D-B23C-392244844100</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
