Five Cent Check Ties Waterloo Man to Railroads
Harry Freedman of Waterloo holds what may be the smallest check in circulation a five cent note drawn on the Great Northern Railroad in Minneapolis. The odd tale begins with fireman James Allory in 1907 short by five cents on his pay and a joke paymaster reply. Freedman later cashed the check and protected the fragment for years, while others attempted to claim it.
