Thank you to Kushi who has now been able to provide me a copy of this article.

This article relates to a 5 Mill token from the Buffet de Zeitoun, in Haifa, whereas my token is a 10 Mill. ~ so now we know of the existence of two tokens, and have also the location corrected to Haifa.

The buffet was founded about 1920 at the corner of 96 Kings St. and 1 Banks St. in Haifa. The name of the founder and the first owner of the establishment was Nagib Eben Yusef of the Christian Catholic Zeitoun family, today in Shfar'am, a large Arabic village not far from Haifa.
The officers and soldiers of the British army whose camps were located along the shore of the Mediterranean sea, at the foot of Mount Carmel, patronised the buffet.
During the independence war of Israel, Nagib Zeitoun sold his buffet to George Jabour, a rich Arab businessman from Haifa and immigrated with his family to Lebanon.
