Book Title: HISTORY OF OCEANA CO., CHICAGO, H.R. PAGE & COMPANY, 1882

For a long time ready money was scarce, and at Pentwater and along the 
river, "Pentwater orders" passed current for money.  These orders were given 
by the leading lumbering firms of Pentwater, and were freely given in exchange 
for all kinds of work.  One gentleman in Hart informs us that out of over $600 
he earned as a mechanic in 1864-66 he received but $16 in cash; the rest was 
in "pentwater orders."  They were all redeemed.
