Robin Hood Flour Mills Limited operated out of Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, and this 1912 refund certificate was a direct commercial loyalty instrument — not a banknote, but functionally similar enough in construction and intent to merit collector attention. The "Extra 10%" designation refers to a rebate scheme the company used to incentivize repeat purchasing, offering customers a percentage back against future flour purchases. Such certificates occupied a grey zone between coupon and scrip, occasionally circulating locally as informal small-denomination exchange.
J. Blais's signature appears as the authorizing officer. The Moose Jaw mill was one of the largest flour operations in western Canada at the time of issue.
