| T. R. King sold these small crown chips to A. Mora, first at 820 S. Santa Fe Avenue, and later at 15638 Avenue 296, both in Visalia, California, between 1954 and 1972. The Santa Fe address was the home of Augustine Mora. He owned "Mora's Cafe", at 202 N. Santa Fe. The 15638 Ave. 296 address was the address of the "Sundowner Card Room" in Visalia.
In the 1959 Visalia directory, Mora is listed as the manager of "Tootle's Two-Sixteen Club" at 216 E. Main St. The order cards appear to indicate that Mora also used these chips at the "216 Club", 216 East Main, Visalia, California.
