Behavioral Controls, Inc., 1506 W. Pierce St., Milwaukee, Wisconsin advised these tokens are used as a training device for mentally retarded children. If they answer the questions correctly, the machine gives them a token which they can take to their store and purchase small items. Behavioral Controls, Inc. manufactured the devices that dispense the tokens, and they were the distributor of the tokens.Manufactured by Leyse Aluminum Co. in Kewaunee, WI
