| Owned by Samuel L. Couri from the late 1940s to the 1960s. Originally located at 643 Main Street and called the "Kremal Pool Hall". It moved in the 1940s to 629 Main St. and in the 1950s to 631 Main Street. Later called "Kremal Billiard and Cards", and the "Kremal Card Room".
T. R. King sold 2100 of the large crown "Kremal" chips in seven colors between 1947 and 1948, and 2700 of the small crown chips in at least seven colors/denominations between 1963 and 1967. The LCV THC "Kremal" chips may have been ordered slightly later.
