Lucky Stores Incorporated was a major California supermarket chain — at its peak one of the largest grocery retailers in the United States. This cent-denomination paper piece is a store scrip or trading stamp adjunct, the kind of small-value instrument retailers used to facilitate change-making or promotional programs without relying on coin. The specifics of which program generated it are not well-documented in the Schimmel reference beyond the catalog number.
Schimmel's coverage of U.S. merchant scrip is broad but uneven; entry 111 is listed without detailed issuance date or program context.
