I'm going to have to challenge the attributation on that WMK chip.
There is no record in Reno criss-cross directories of a Kriter Bar or that William Kriter ever lived in Reno.
Per TR King records the chips were purchased by William Kriter of Reno in 1954 but there is no address on the record. I believe it was a retail walk in sale at the TR King store.
I called every Kriter in the US. If I remember right there was something like 25 of them. It is a strange spelling. 95% of them are related one way or the other and orginally came from Canada. None knew a William.
