D Brownstone Herbert Sask.
(Good For $1.00 In Merchandise)

David Brownstone and Harold Wasserman purchased the J. Dyck store in 1908 and in 1911 Brownstone bought out his partner. In 1912 he started a store in Main Centre and sold out to Isaac Wall in 1916. In 1913 he purchased the Peter Friesen store in Rush Lake and sold it to H. Dantzen in 1918. In 1924 he took his son Allan in as partner and purchased the store in Morse for him to operate. In 1929 Allan took over the operation of both stores and continued in business until 1948 when he sold to Walter Hubick. It is thought that the tokens were issued around 1918 and used until 1936.

In 1915 the Western Canada Supply was formed by a partnership of four farmers, with George Buhler as manager, tokens were issued in 1920, issue 100 each of the aluminum and 50 each of the brass. There was considerable dissension between the partners as to how the business should be run and in 1925 the company was in dire straits and tried to sell everything. B.J. Miller, who was in business across the street, made an offer which was finally accepted. He purchased the building, stock and other assets but would assume none of the liabilities. There were many of the tokens still in the possession of the customers so Miller elected to use the tokens until they could all be withdrawn without a loss to any customer. At this time he counterstamped all tokens in the store with M I L L E R on the obverse of the token. Any token that was brought in for redemption after this date was counterstamped on the reverse and these were to be charged to the amount still owing the former company. A time limit had been decided on for the redemption of the tokens as Miller did not want to use the tokens otherwise. At this date all tokens must be accounted for and those missing were charged against the former company. Note that the N is missing in Western in all of the 25 cent tokens.

Western Canada Supply Co. Ltd. Herbert Sask.
(Good For $10.00 In Trade)

In 1915 the Western Canada Supply was formed by a partnership of four farmers, with George Buhler as manager, tokens were issued in 1920, issue 100 each of the aluminum and 50 each of the brass. There was considerable dissension between the partners as to how the business should be run and in 1925 the company was in dire straits and tried to sell everything. B.J. Miller, who was in business across the street, made an offer which was finally accepted. He purchased the building, stock and other assets but would assume none of the liabilities. There were many of the tokens still in the possession of the customers so Miller elected to use the tokens until they could all be withdrawn without a loss to any customer. At this time he counterstamped all tokens in the store with M I L L E R on the obverse of the token. Any token that was brought in for redemption after this date was counterstamped on the reverse and these were to be charged to the amount still owing the former company. A time limit had been decided on for the redemption of the tokens as Miller did not want to use the tokens otherwise. At this date all tokens must be accounted for and those missing were charged against the former company. Note that the N is missing in Western in all of the 25 cent tokens.

Zacharias Bros General Merchants Herbert, Sask.
(Good For $1.00 In Trade)

The four Zacharias Brothers; Martin, John, Henry and Cornelius, started a flour mill in 1914. The demand was good and in 1915 they expanded the capacity of the mill and added a general store. Tokens were issued in 1916 to be used for the balance of trade from the farmer's delivery of wheat to what they had taken from the store and milled products. In 1920, for no apparent reason, the business was sold to Mr. Loeppky and the brothers left for Texas.
