Ohio's Depression-era sales tax token program extended into the early 1940s in paper receipt form rather than the aluminum or fiber tokens used by other states. The Columbian Bank Note Company, a Chicago firm better known for stock certificates and fiscal paper, handled production of these tiny notes — an unusual contract for a company rarely associated with state tax instruments.
The perforation serves a redemption-control function, not an anti-counterfeiting one. Punched patterns were used to cancel or validate at point of sale.
