Bar scrip from a bowling alley and grill in a town of under 1,500 people. Cadott, Wisconsin sits at the precise geographic center of the contiguous United States — a fact the town has marketed aggressively since a 1931 survey confirmed it — which gives even its most mundane printed ephemera a faint novelty. This token note entitles the bearer to one eight-ounce draft, the kind of small-denomination drink scrip typically printed in short runs for promotions, league nights, or cover charges converted into credit at the bar.
Survival rate for this class of local hospitality scrip is low. Most are redeemed, pocketed as curiosities, or simply discarded.
