The Wishing Well Illegal Springfield, IL

Thank you to two club members for the chips and the newspaper articles from the 1940's.
The articles mention the WW and The Shelton gang. The Sheltons were a gang similar to the Capone gang but on a smaller scale that operated in IL. They are associated with many illegal chips sold in IL. I have two other articles that clears city and county officals in the payoff scheme. Sounds like several Grand Jury reports from Newport, KY. grin
Only the yellow chip has a denomination.
Chips shipped to 3036 Peoria RD-Angelo D. Giamoco-im 1948.
No traders.
