Does anyone have any information about this store. When did it exist and over what area did it do business. I have a 12 ½ cent token from one but cannot find much information about the stores existence.

There appear to be several all over the place, but Token Catalog came up with this in Calgary:

Says it was in operation 1911/12, a Calgary professional baseball team used this store as their headquarters.

 

That's a pretty neat little token!

Thanks, that is a great site. I had found the Lewistown, Montana reference on another site. This gave me the impression that it was a national chain of some sort. I will have to search the site to find the reference to the date and the baseball team association.  I did send in a question to the Calgary  Glenbow museum to see if they had any information on it. I expected 1930 date, thus is much earlier. 

Thank you.

Edit: I see that Robert K. from Calgary Coin is a contributor. I will have to contact him for information.

You've probably found it already if you're doing research on the subject but I also found this, with photos:

I love this local history type stuff.
