Comments

Agricultural scrip issued by individual farmers and produce brokers was common across the American South and Mid-Atlantic states through the early twentieth century, functioning as a receipt, a futures claim, or a labor token depending on the operation. A "crate ticket" of this kind would have been issued at the point of harvest or delivery, redeemable against a specific unit of packed fruit — one standard crate. Alfred Justice has not been positively identified in published scrip registries, which is not unusual; most small growers who issued commodity tickets left no institutional record.
