A Canadian Reminiscence by Alexander McOwan read by George Davies
Alexander McOwan is old enough to remember, from the many years he spent there, how the pioneers and settlers filled up the vast province of Saskatchewan. He has broadcast one or two stories based on these times.
' Frontier Finance ' describes the curious way in which a growing township, whose inhabitants were short of currency, carried on business by means of the multiplied endorsement of cheques. The story is an amusing example of how the credit system can work in an isolated community.
