Bakery Token |
A Weyrich's City Bakery Tokens. Year
unknown.
Two different tokens for the same business: One scolloped with
'A. Weyrich City Bakery' on one side and 'Good for 1 Loaf of Bread'
on the other. The second token is octagonal, the size of a quarter,
and reads Good For 1 Loaf City Bakery' on one side and a large
"W" on the reverse. Mr. Weyrich operated the City Bakery
in Longview Texas during the first couple of decades of the 20th
century. It is said Mr. Weyrich baked these tokens into a few
loaves of bread every week, so you always had the chance of winning
a free loaf every time you bought one
It
has been pointed that these tokens were most likely used first
in Greenville, Texas, where a Mr. A. Weyrich had the City Bakery
from the early 1900's through the mid 20's. His son, A. P. Weyrich,
came to Longview where he also had a bakery and, continued to
use the same tokens.
