In the early 1900’s, many businesses were located in remote, inaccessible locations and the owners of the businesses were reluctant to have, on site, a large amount of cash. As a result, it became a practice to utilize "brass money" often known as Brozine. David Burney Fox’s sawmill business was no exception; and these three pictures show $1, 50 cent, 25 cent, 10 cent and 5 cent pieces. He would pay off his laborers with Brozine, and his employees would joke, "In Fox We Trust". They could use the brass money to trade among themselves, buy groceries and other items at the Fox commissary, and probably gamble with it. Anyone needing U. S. cash could exchange the Fox money for real money at the Bank of Ovett, and D. B. Fox would pay the bank back. This was no problem for he was president of the bank.
