Price Brothers, Merchant Scrip, Three Pence, Six Sous, CH#QC350-12-02, VF-EF. A nice clean original note. A small pinhole at bottom border. Seldom encountered in this condition. The Price Company has long been a leader in the Quebec pulp and paper industry. The founder, William Price, became known as the "Father of the Saguenay" and his sphere of operations, the "Kingdom of the Saguenay". Before he died, he turned the business over to his three sons. The new company became Price Brothers & Co. They started issuing scrip in 1848, and printed ten different issues of scrip.
