Beautiful scrip with pictorials of Equity lady, globe with industries, and train hurtling toward the land of plenty. (Notice the reference to silver and gold.) The so-called “gay nineties” was actually a period of economic hard times for American farmers and industrial workers. Employment shrank and credit became tight. Many turned to cooperative ventures as a way to make ends meet. The 1/10 stands for 1/10 of a labor unit or 1/10 of a days work. This could be exchanged for product of same value or money.City: County: State: CODate:
