THE NEXT TWO ARE SMALLER NOTES----ONE IS A BLANK CERTIFICATE FROM A STORE IN THE 1820S THAT WOULD BE FILLED IN AND OFFERED AS A COUPON OR INCENTIVE TO COME BACK AND SHOP AT THIS STORE---THE OTHER IS PRINTED ON THE BACK OF ANOTHER NOTE DUE TO A LACK OF PAPER......

THE NEXT IS A BOOKLET OF TICKETS THAT A PERSON WOULD PAY FOR IN ADVANCE AND LEAVE WITH THE EMPTY MILK BOTTLES AND A NOTE AS TO HOW MUCH MILK WAS TO BE LEFT AT THE HOUSE---THAT WAY THE MILKMAN WOULD NOT HAVE TO WAKE ANYONE UP ASKING FOR CHANGE------

Haven't seen milk vouchers before.
Anyone remember having the top of the bottles pecked through by the birds?
