6 Quarts Strawberry ticket; Clyde Beaver

Clyde Beaver was almost certainly a berry farmer or produce dealer operating a pick-your-own or contracted-harvest operation, issuing denominated cardboard tickets to track worker or customer credit in the field — a practice common across rural North America from the 1880s through the Depression era. The "6 Quarts" denomination functions like a scrip unit, redeemable for fruit rather than currency, keeping accounts without cash changing hands during a harvest.

These agricultural commodity tickets were ephemeral by design. Printed locally, often by a job printer in a nearby town, they survived only when a season ended with unused stock.
