ANSWERS: There was a format called Company Town where the company would virtually own and control the entire town including daily need item stores. Workers were lured with attractive wages and accommodation. But, the wages were paid in 'Scrips' which were company printed currency meant to be spent in the stores owned by the company owned and controlled stores inside the company town.
