Cooper and Copeland ran the Stag Billiards Parlor in Anaheim.

Why would the Bell Cigar Store owned by Snorts Weyerman order anything marked C&C ?

My guess: there were extra C&C chips made or unclaimed, and the second locale simply got those in a ready-made manner.

Okay, not much, but it IS an iota. My Tacoma pickup agrees: Ota, ota, ota!
