Island Creek Stores Company was a coal company scrip issuer operating in Logan County, West Virginia — one of the most heavily scrip-dependent regions in the United States during the early twentieth century. Company stores in the southern West Virginia coalfields routinely paid miners in scrip redeemable only at the company's own store, a system that effectively tied wages to a single controlled retail outlet and was later targeted by federal labor legislation.
The red paper stock used for this denomination was a common color-coding method to distinguish values within a scrip series at a glance — useful when illiteracy rates among immigrant miners ran high.
