FEATURED WEB SITE

This week's featured web site on Depression Scrip is
maintained by one of our new subscribers, Rod Charlton.

"The main purpose of this website is to document depression
scrip. The last documentation put together on depression scrip
was a great book written in 1984 by Ralph A. Mitchell and
Neil Shafer. In my opinion, it's the "bible" on depression scrip.
But, it lacks a few things. There aren't as many pics as I would
like to see. Plus, the pictures aren't as detailed as they could be.
I understand the problems with publishing something like that.
It would be 12" thick if there was as much detail as I would like.
Still, it's the best book ever written."

The site has a nice depression scrip picture archive, and includes
sections on the U.S., Canada and Europe, and related items such
as Coupon Books, Cardboard Tokens, Sales Tax Tokens and
Wooden Nickels. Also included is a nice bibliography and
"Depression Scrip: an Annotated Bibliography" by Loren Gatch
of the Department of Political Science at the University of Central
Oklahoma.

Rod adds: "Come see a forgotten piece of history.... "
