Hermanos Food was a small grocery chain serving Chicago's Mexican immigrant communities, primarily on the city's Near West Side and Pilsen neighborhoods, during the mid-twentieth century. Token currency of this kind — fractional paper scrip in cent denominations — was issued by ethnic grocers to handle small transactions where coin change was either scarce or operationally inconvenient, and to retain customer spending within the store.
Scrip of this type rarely survived in quantity; it was spent, lost, or discarded rather than saved.
