"Golden Rule" seems to have been a popular business moniker over the years, so as of now I'm unable to tie this example of Ingle System scrip to a specific locale. Perhaps if somebody out there has a copy of the Greever-Byars checklist, that deficit can be remedied. Almost 18mm in diameter.

The Golden Rule Store was founded by James Cash Penney, and was the original name of J.C. Penney Company. It was located in Kemmerer, Wyoming.

In 1913, the Golden Rule chain was incorporated under the J.C. Penney name. The patent date on the token is 1914. That might seem a discrepancy, but apparently the stores continued to operate under the familiar Golden Rule name even after the parent company name had been changed.

I'd still like to verify via Greever-Byars that this is the particular Golden Rule for which the tokens were supplied.
