Apache Hotel Dec. 1941

Found this ad in a Dec 1941 magazine. According to The Gaming Table the Apache operated from 1932-1944, New Western Casino 1942, then became SS Rex Club 1945-1946, and then Rex Club 1946-1946. Binions opened there in 1951. The Apache had chips and the Rex clubs had chips. I wonder if there were New Western Casino chips? The New Western address is listed as 124 E Fremont. There is also a listing for Western Club at 128 E Fremont in the 1940's. Are those two addresses the same building? The SS Rex Club at 124 E Fremont used TR King large crown chips in 1945. There are small crown Western Club chips shown by Armin as Gardena, Ca. circa 1958, and by James C. as possibly Vegas but with an opening date of 1965. I don't know how early small crown chips were produced by TR King? Sorry to ramble on. Any thoughts or help appreciated. Enjoy the history. Doug in Kingman, Az.
