In the 1920s Entrepreneur Wellington White bought the original, smaller version of Danceland. He shipped in 84,000 feet of lumber and ordered train cars brimming with horse hair to build a new, bigger venue. Wellington's Danceland, more than twice the original's size, opened for its first dance in June 1930. It still stands today.

A token somewhat similar to this has been listed as from Winnipeg but several old-timers of Manor thought that this token was definitely used in Manor. Arthur Joseph built the hotel in 1901 and in 1904 sold to J. Henley. The hotel burnt down in 1910 and at this time several farmers formed a partnership and built a new hotel. It is thought that the token was used in the original hotel.

Manor
Moose Mountain Trading Co. Manor, N.W.T.
(Good For $1.00 In Merchandise)


Captain Edward Pierce, an Englishman of means, came to Canada with an idea to purchase land and build the ideal community which was to be composed of well-to-do Englishmen and establish a mode of life in the gracious English manner with no restrictions. He selected land 40 miles southwest of Moosomin and in 1882 the Moose Mountain Trading Company was formed with Harry Bird, Robert Bird and Ernest Maltby as partners. The Company built a beautiful church, a store, a grist mill, a pork factory, a cheese factory and a number of homes. None of these were sold but rented out to the workers, with every thing of the best that could be purchased. The grist mill won a number of prizes for their products at the Chicago Fair in 1892. Captain Pierce had been promised that when the railroad did make it's way west it would go through Cannington Manor but in 1889 when the railroad came through it was placed 10 miles to the south. This was the breaking point for the 'ideal community', this along with the harsh prairie climate ended the dream. A few settlers stayed to farm, some moved to the new town site called Manor but the majority returned to England.

In 1890 E. Maltby, Harry Bird and Robert Bird started a store and grist mill in the new Manor but the partnership was not as close as it was at the old site and in 1896 Maltby purchased the business from his partners. Tokens were issued at this time and were used until 1906 when these tokens were issued. In 1910 the store was sold to Charles S. Logie and at this time these tokens were withdrawn as Mr. Logie felt that 'in trade' should be on the tokens as some one might come in and demand cash.

(Good For $1.00 In Merchandise)


Cecil Tannahill's notes from his catalogue, merged with memories provided by Sharpe's descendants in 2023:
"James Sharpe arrived in Manor in 1903 and became an agent for one of the grain elevators. In 1908 he started a small store and in 1920 expanded the store and took his son James Walker Sharpe in business with him. At this time the name was changed to Jas. Sharpe & Co.
Tokens were issued at this time and used until the business was sold in 1929 to J. Gardner. The family's understanding was that the store was lost because of the 1929 stock market crash - James Senior kept pouring money into the market, not believing it would crash."
