Sayvette
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sayvette was a discount department store wholly owned and operated in Canada by Loblaw Companies Limited, a large grocery distribution and retail business, from 1961 until the 1970s.
At one time, the company gave out small tokens or coins, similar to coupons. The token was octagonal and in the centre had the following: "Sayvette 1 (cent) ONE CENTE" and around it in a circular fashion were the words: "REDEEMABLE FOR MERCHANDISE ONLY." They were a light weight metal, possibly a brass coloured aluminum. They were franked on each side with the same information. Customers could save up the tokens and were permitted to use a number of them at one time.
