Merchant scrip from American grocery and convenience retailers was overwhelmingly produced by a small cluster of Chicago-area trade printers who specialized in this niche — firms like Western Printing or local job shops that turned around short runs cheaply. A 1-cent denomination is notably low; most food store scrip was issued in 5- or 10-cent increments to cover fractional change on promotional offers or trading stamp redemptions. One-cent pieces suggest either a very specific pricing scheme or a coupon-adjacent use rather than true circulating scrip.
No issuance date survives in the catalog record, which is typical for this class of ephemera — these were printed to order with no regulatory requirement for dating.
