| Comments |
Lavo was a Montreal-based household products manufacturer, best known for bleach and cleaning compounds. This ten-dollar note is a company scrip or wage token instrument — issued by an employer rather than a bank or government authority, a practice that was legally murky in Canada by the time most such scrip circulated but never entirely stamped out, particularly within closed industrial communities or during periods of tight coin supply.
The Bouthillier and Goyette signatures almost certainly represent company officers rather than financial institution signatories, which is the norm for this class of private industrial paper.
