Wisconsin bar scrip — issued by taverns to keep trade in-house, typically sold in booklet form at a slight discount and redeemable only at the issuing establishment. The practice was widespread across small-town Wisconsin through much of the twentieth century, tolerated rather than formally regulated, and it served the bar owner's interest plainly: cash up front, redemption deferred or sometimes never claimed. Weyauwega, a town of under two thousand in Waupaca County, had exactly the kind of corner tavern culture where this kind of scrip circulated without friction.
