Milton B. "Farmer" Page (b. 1887 - d. 1960) was a Los Angeles gambling kingpin who was arrested several times in the 1920s and 1930s on gambling related charges. He was arrested in 1925, after he shot and killed a rival gambling operator in the "Sorrento Club" (1348 W. 6th St.). He was charged with murder, but he claimed self-defense, and charges were dismissed.

In the 1930s and 1940s, he was co-owner of the "Continental Club", and the "Clover Club" in Los Angeles, and a partner in the off-shore "S.S. Rex" and "S.S Tango". In 1942 he moved to Las Vegas to operate the "Colony Casino", and was co-owner of the "Pioneer Club", "Boulder Club", and "El Rancho Vegas" (see "Archive").

Mason & Co. sold 3700 of the "LAC" hub mold chips in four colors to Milton Page, Los Angeles, California on 3/29/1932.

T. R. King sold 4000 of the "M&M" large crown chips in three colors to M. B. Page who picked up the chips from their Los Angeles store on 7/2/1942.
