| Also referred to as the "Growers & Shippers Social Club". Owned by Frank Pirone, who was also owner of the "Edison Social Club" next door at 2111 Inyo Street. Reportedly it offered black jack and craps in additions to poker, and had its card room license temporarily revoked when investigating officers were not allowed to enter the social club (see Archive). T. R. King sold 3100 of these large crown chips in six colors to the Growers and Shippers Exchange Club, 2049 Kern Street (California Hotel), Fresno, California in 1954 and 1957. Dice equipment was also sold. |
