ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

Unlisted denomination. This token is listed in the Montana Token Book, but not in this denomination.

Olaf T. Wiprud ran a General Store in Dutton, Montana for many years. For the first few years of operation his store was listed in Business Directories under just his name. See the 1914 Montana Bradstreet and 1916 Mn-DAKS-MT Polk Gazetteer. This period is when the token offered was issued. After 1916 the Store was listed under the name of O. T. Wiprud & Bro. See, for example, the 1927 Montana Bradstreet.
________________________________________________

This is also an Ingle System Token - The Ingle system provided cash registers, tokens and a patented system to reduce the work of maintaining the book keeping ledgers that most shop keepers of the day used. If patrons wanted to have an account, the shop keeper could advance any amount in Ingle tokens to them ...say $10.00... and then the patrons could spend the tokens a few cents at a time at will. The shop keeper in turn would keep records only as payments were made on the $10.00 loan and not for each time the patron spent a few pennies.
