Richard Percy Eades worked for Eaton's in Montreal and was transferred

In 1929, he was elected a Member of Parliament and sold the grocery part to a chap that was working for him, Charles
Dickson Snedden. Snedden took over the balance of the store in 1932. Tokens were issued in 1920, and when the grocery
was sold to Snedden, he marked all the tokens on hand with three notches on the side, and continued to use them.
All tokens that were returned without the three notches were debited to the account of Eades. In 1932, due to a
shortage of $1.00 tokens, Snedden issued a $1.00 scrip. These were numbered and "good for one dollar in trade at
C. D. Snedden's, Ernfold". The original building was destroyed by fire on January 7, 1946. |

In 1929, he was elected a Member of Parliament and sold the grocery part to a chap that was working for him, Charles
Dickson Snedden. Snedden took over the balance of the store in 1932. Tokens were issued in 1920, and when the grocery
was sold to Snedden, he marked all the tokens on hand with three notches on the side, and continued to use them.
All tokens that were returned without the three notches were debited to the account of Eades. In 1932, due to a
shortage of $1.00 tokens, Snedden issued a $1.00 scrip. These were numbered and "good for one dollar in trade at
C. D. Snedden's, Ernfold". The original building was destroyed by fire on January 7, 1946. |

I M C (Image Of Mine House)1962 (1 K-Buck One)
These tokens were issued as part of an entertainment program for
several groups of guests, the International Minerals Ft Chemical Corporation (Canada) Limited, brought in
during the opening period of the mine in 1962. Guests were treated to an old- fashioned 'night in a mining
camp complete with saloon and gambling hall'. Following the evening banquet, guests were each supplied
with 100 K-BUCKS, which could be used to play the various games and wheels of fortune in the big K gambling
emporium. Those fortunate to win could turn their K-BUCKS into merchandise that was on sale in the big K store.
Only the K-BUCKS could be used for playing the games and purchasing merchandise. These tokens were used on three
seperate occasions during 1962.
Note: A paper scrip note was also printed and issued:
