Trade tokens and bar scrip were common enough across small-town Wisconsin, but printed paper good-for notes from individual taverns are considerably rarer survivors — most were redeemed, lost, or simply discarded after use. Weyauwega, a small Waupaca County dairy town, had no particular reason to issue scrip beyond the practical: keeping customers in the house and simplifying the tab. Whether this piece dates from a slow period, a special promotion, or routine house practice is not recorded.
