History:

The Bakery was the place where people were able to purchase fresh breads, buns, cookies, and cakes.

Most small bakers in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s would issue tickets (pre-1880) or tokens (after 1880) to customers for which to purchase their bread.  Customers would pay the baker, and in return would receive tokens for future bread purchases. 

This benefited both the baker and customer.  The customer did not have to worry about carrying money for bread, and the baker could often reward customers by selling tokens in quantities that would include discounts.  Many bakers would also deliver their bread and sold the tokens to customers so that the delivery person did not have to handle cash.

Tokens came in many styles, but were commonly issued for 1/2 loaf and 1 loaf quantities.  Prior to 1910, bakers would bake their bread in a double pan, two loaves to a pan.  Therefore the 1/2 loaf would really equal 1 loaf.
