Stoughton Bakery

Jim Stinson built the bakery in 1904 and in 1905 sold to Ben Bowes, who sold it less than a year later to Jack Smith. It is thought that Stinson issued the tokens and that they were used by the subsequent owners, as the name was maintained. Bread was selling at this time for 22 loaves for $1.00. Jack Smith discontinued business in 1919.

This example has been holed and in doing so the denomination has been obscured. Since it is unlikely it would have been good for 3 loaves, it is assumed this token is good for 2 loaves.

Stoughton

The Thurlby Matheson Co. Cash Merchants Stoughton, Sask.
(Good For $2.50 In Merchandise)

J. R. Thurlby and W. D. Matheson of Glen Ewen formed a partnership in 1923 and started the Thurlby-Matheson Company with a general store in Stoughton which was to be the head office for a number of stores in the adjoining towns. It was planned to do all the buying and have all deliveries made to Stoughton so that the volume would create a larger profit. The plans were made but many pitfalls not thought of were encountered so in 1929 the partnership was dissolved with Thurlby taking over the Stoughton store and Matheson the Glen Ewen store.

Swift Current

Swift Current Car-O-Mat Sask. Canada
(Good For One Car-O-Mat Five Min. Wash)

Jackson Running, owner and manager of Great West Motors, opened the car wash in December 1965. Meters were installed to handle these tokens, value 25 cents, but were sold to other car dealers in quantities at a discount. These tokens were used less than a year as too many slugs were used in the meters so the meters were changed in July 1967 to 25 cent meters. In April, 1968, the car wash was sold to Bob Andrews, at this time most of the tokens were thrown away.
