The Lido chips were shipped to John Murray, 1936, 31st and Troost St's, KC, MO.
Troost St was like a mini "Strip" for the KC mob in the 1930's and 40's.
After "Prohibition" ended all of the syndicates moved into gambling to make up for lost revenue from booze.
John Murray fronted a liquor store and had a lot of chips dropped to him for the different clubs.
