Sassy's is a bar and restaurant in Chetek, Wisconsin — a small lake town in Barron County. Notes like this were issued as promotional trade currency, redeemable for drinks, food, or merchandise at the issuing establishment. The format was common among American taverns and supper clubs from the 1970s onward, a novelty marketing tool that also functioned as a prepaid credit instrument. Chetek's economy runs heavily on seasonal tourism, which likely drove the appeal of something a vacationer might pocket as a souvenir rather than redeem.
