Trade tokens and scrip from small-town Wisconsin taverns occupy a peculiar niche — legal ambiguity kept most of them short-lived, and few issued paper rather than the more typical aluminum or brass disc. A paper chit denominated in "sodas" or tap beers from a named corner bar suggests either a tab system, a promotional gimmick, or an informal loyalty scheme, none of which required any regulatory approval and most of which disappeared when the proprietor changed hands or simply stopped bothering.
Weyauwega is a small Waupaca County town; its Corner Bar scrip is essentially unrecorded in standard exonumia references.
