Bowling alley scrip issued for bar rail use — one drink redeemable at the counter, no change given. These laminated paper tokens were common in Wisconsin taverns and recreational venues through the latter half of the twentieth century, a workaround for cash handling at busy league nights when bartenders couldn't make change fast enough. Chetek is a small Barron County lake town; the venue's dual identity as a pizzeria and event center suggests the scrip likely circulated across functions — bowling, banquets, private parties — rather than being confined to the lanes alone.
