Govan

Carson And Patterson
(Good For 1 Quart Milk)

Mrs. Sara Paterson opened a cafe for business in 1906 in a small shack on Section 23-27-22 W2. When it was announced the new town site would be located on the north half of 14-27-22, Mrs. Paterson, in September of 1906, pitched a tent to lay the foundation for a new cafe, giving meals in the small tent until she moved her small building. In the fall of 1907 she erected a two-storey building, calling it the Govan Pioneer Restaurant. She operated this until joined by her son, John Carson, in 1910. The name was then changed to Carson and Paterson. Sold in 1919 to Culbertson and Mrs. Snydall.
It should be noted that according to the book "Last Mountain echoes : a family and school history of Govan & district", her last name was Paterson, not Patterson. The tokens issued by this business contain this spelling mistake.

Grenfell Milling Co. Grenfell
(Good For One Loaf)

George Powell and Edward Fitzgerald built an elevator and a mill and to raise money for this project they formed the Grenfell Milling Company and took in R.S. Lake, Theodore Simpkinson and Dr. Elliott as partners. The mill started operating in 1894 and around 1900 Powell and Fitzgerald bought out the other partners. In 1905 they erected a large building near the mill to house their other ventures; machinery, harness shop and offices of the company. While no mention of a bakery is made in the papers, it is thought that a bakery was started around this time. The company expanded into hardware and lumber and served Percival, Broadview, Oakshella, Summerberry, Wolseley, Neudorf, Grayson, Glenavon, Windthorst and Kipling. The depression caught the company with too much credit on the books and the business was forced to close down. It seems that the bakery was discontinued in 1922, selling all the equipment to John Gilbert who operated the bakery until 1932 when he closed the bakery. Apparently he used the original tokens and counterstamped them with G B (this could be for Gilbert's Bakery or Grenfell Bakery but no Grenfell Bakery appears in the town's records.)

On selling their store to Friesen's, Schellenberg's opened the first (so they claim) groceteria in Canada. This idea proved quite popular so in 1927 they sold this store to Friesen's and moved to Saskatoon where they started a retail and wholesale under the same name. As they had used tokens before and sold the tokens to Friesen they ordered a new set for the groceteria. These tokens were used very little as they sold the store shortly after receiving the tokens.

(Good For 50¢ In Trade)

On selling their store to Friesen's, Schellenberg's opened the first (so they claim) groceteria in Canada. This idea proved quite popular so in 1927 they sold this store to Friesen's and moved to Saskatoon where they started a retail and wholesale under the same name. As they had used tokens before and sold the tokens to Friesen they ordered a new set for the groceteria. These tokens were used very little as they sold the store shortly after receiving the tokens.
