The Ceylon Ice & Cold Storage Co. Ltd. was one of several colonial-era commercial enterprises in Ceylon that issued their own scrip for use at company stores — a practice common where retail infrastructure was thin and plantation or depot workers needed a controlled credit mechanism. This Ragama issue ties the note specifically to the company's cold storage facility north of Colombo on the main rail line, which served both the capital's ice trade and transit refrigeration needs.
Company store scrip of this type rarely survived in quantity. Workers spent it, employers redeemed it in bulk, and nobody archived it.
