Interior of Trimmers Barber Shop, Lander, WY around 1940.
We think the notes were created as emergency currency that people could use. It was intended to help with the shortage of federal cash after bank failures. There is an expiration date because the Lions Club wanted this system to be temporary for the years 1933-1934. Perhaps like a gift certificate
Enjoy the weeks #lookback from the Riverton Museum.
