Admission tokens were issued to enable the bearer to gain access to  a place of entertainment or recreation, a private club, or a sporting or other event.  Some were issued to members, and were reusable. Some were used to operate turnstiles to gain entrance. This one, obviously gave the bearer a 10 cent discount to a particular theater, which appears to be the Palace Theatre in Hillsboro, Texas.

You know how many times I've driven though Hillsboro heading Dallas to Austin?  Way too many.  How many times have I stopped there?  Never.  Checking on google street view they've got a pharmacy claiming to be Texas' oldest right on the square.  Next to a saloon building dated 1876.  

There's a few antique stores but lacking restaurants that I could use as good motivation to base a trip on the place.  Maybe one of these days I'll stop to poke around.

I used to go through there almost every weekend.  Picked up some random interesting antiques.  I do recommend it, as long as it's pretty much the same as it was years ago.
