Ok I will take a wild guess that I know is mostly correct.

It is Winn Dixie Grocery store trading stamp. That part I know. Winn Dixie got into a little financial problems and sold off a lot of their stores.

So my guess is that it is an over print for the new store called the Amish Grocery Store or something like that,

Now I don't know if this has anything to do with the stamps in question, but I found this old sign for sale on the internet:




I'm skeptical that it relates to the same promotion, as it seems as though it would be too old. Remember, Winn-Dixie at one point gave TV Stamps (Top Value) Stamps as a premium but did away with them in the late 1960s, I believe, presumably in deference to their own branded stamp:

Thank you for the reply's. I see now that it is Cash Dividend and NOT Amish Dividend so I was misreading it!
