Thanks Bob
I have seen that, courtesy of the CNA Librarian. Any idea how I can contact Don Stewart? Are you out there, Don? Did you get any further in your inquiries? I am trying to go a little further. What/when/where was the company that initiated the program? How broadly were these scrip notes issued? I.E. Alberta only, etc. And when? There seems to be very little info out there. The scrip notes themselves are as to intention and use.
I have contacted Coutts, Alta and the store is long gone and all but forgotten. The Municipal Clerk-Administrator kindly sent out my request for information in the Village Newsletter. Nobody remembers the scrip but one resident remembered when the store was torn down an found the old ledgers.
