Along with his brothers, Edward F., John T., and Joel David "the Woodside boys," who were classed as "city builders" and considered among "South Carolina's greatest benefactors" (Greenville News, 5 September 1937), Robert, a banker, was instrumental in the erection of the seventeen-story Woodside Building, Greenville's first skyscraper, which became the new home of the Woodside National Bank. The "Sentinel of the Carolinas," begun in 1920 and formally opened on 18 June 1923.

Food stamps
4 Plastic tokens from New York
There is an Irish neighbourhood in Woodside!
Sadly the eBay seller would only ship to USA.
The plastic food stamp program began in the 1970s when the government decreed that change be given in food stamp credit tokens rather than in coins to reduce the possibility of fraud. Thus, 1.125 inch plastic tokens were issued in various colors, with each color representing a different denomination black or yellow for 1¢, green for 5¢, blue for 10¢, red for 25¢ and pink for 50¢. The other side of each token was inscribed with the name of the store where it could be redeemed. This led to a bureaucratic nightmare that was more trouble than it was worth. And so, these plastic tokens were quickly withdrawn and destroyed.
