BUSINESS SCRIP

Scrip are tokens or paper with a monetary value issued to workers as an advance on wages by the company. There were many companies that used this practice. These tokens could only be used at the specific locality or town of the company named.
Because it was used in the context of a business town and typically very secluded, there were usually no other retail establishments, employees who used this could only redeem their value at that specific location.
As there were no other retail establishments, this constituted a monopoly.
