Ontario, Toronto - Evening Globe Breton 755

Obverse & Reverse: GOOD FOR ONE COPY / EVENING GLOBE

According to Breton - The Toronto Globe having for a number of years the largest circulation of any newspaper in Canada, commenced during the exhibition of 1879 the issue of an evening edition. This edition was continued after the closing of the exhibition. As the price was made 15 cents per dozen, these checks were issued to enable those buying their papers from news-stands to secure them at the lowest price. Eight of these checks were sold for ten cents.
