S. Moulton General Store Delisle, Sask. (Good For 10¢ In Merchandise) On selling his business in Girvin in 1914, Sylvestor Moulton purchased a general store in Delisle. Having used tokens to good advantage in Girvin, he ordered tokens for use here. The new tokens were in the smaller denominations as he had a number of the other denominations left over from Girvin. He contemplated counterstamping the Girvin tokens with D S to designate the Delisle store. However, as no counterstamped tokens have been found and the Delisle tokens are all uncirculated, it is presumed that Mr. Moulton did not use the tokens at all. None of the old-timers in the area could remember the tokens. |
