It was widely believed that drinking milk would keep workers from getting poisoned from the fumes they were exposed to, so it was written into their union contract that the company would provide a ration of milk to each worker. The way the company kept track of the ration was to give each worker so many tokens per week, and it would be up to the worker to redeem his tokens daily. ...

Didn't you know, Milk is a panacea?!!! Too funny and very interesting. Great info John in ID!

Very cool milk token Like almost everyone else I have never seen a 7 cent token. It will be nice when someone finds it in a book and lets us know how rare it is.

I have had welders tell me to drink milk after cutting or welding on galvanized metal.
