The first store was built in Phippen in 1907 by Mr. Dure and was jointly owned by Dure and Harper. The lumber and supplies had to be hauled from Battleford as the railway wasn't completed past Phippen until 1909. George Allen took it over when he bought it in 1926, and ran it until 1945 when he retired. It was then sold to Mrs. Christenson and operated by her son Chris, until it was closed in 1953.

Issued October 1974. Issue 100.

George Milne, manager of P. Burns, and Alex Motherwell, a clerk in the Prince Albert Trading Co., along with several friends started the Northern Co-operative Society late in 1919, with Milne as the President, Motherwell as Secretary-treasurer. Right from the start the new business encountered many difficulties and in 1922 Milne left and Alex Motherwell took over as President. Even under the new management it was not successful and in 1925 it folded completely. It is thought that other tokens were issued.

Note this example has five holes punched into it. The square pattern of the bottom of the outer holes suggest they were punched using a carpentry nail similar to the one shown here:

The center hole was likely punched all the way through.

F. G. Planchot was one of the early pioneers in the district and in 1918 started the general store. Being an astute business man, his enterprize prospered so that in the late 1920's he owned a grocery, poolroom, confectionery, bowling alley, dance hall and theatre. Punnichy was located near an Indian Reserve and during the depression of the 1930's, the Indians, like everyone else, were short of money. However, they had access to large tracts of poplar which they cut down to make pickets for fences. Other merchants in the area bought these pickets from the Indians for 3 cents each, but Planchot would give the Indian one of these tokens for each picket or 3 cents if he so preferred. Needless to say he obtained the majority of the business as the Indians preferred the tokens. They spent their money for groceries or pleasure and Planchot could supply both. Ordered 1,000 of the tokens and they were in use until 1937 when he discontinued their use. Mr. Planchot states that he destroyed all the tokens in his possession at this time. Later several were turned in at the store for the only known ones.

The Hamblin Bros., James H., Jack F., and Clarence, started the confectionery in May 1914. Tokens were issued around 1920 and were used for 10 years. In 1925 the brothers expanded to a grocery store and sold,their business in 1964.
