But first off, sorry, I do not have what you are looking for.

Re-posted below is my collage of the red, $1 "Los Angeles Club" chip and the Taylor and Company order card.

The first five entries would appear to all be for the Los Angeles Club, E. St. Louis, IL, with a delivery to J. DeAm, as shipped in May of 1941. Then, there is an annotation that the 2 fractionals and the $10 chips were returned on January 9, 1942 and then "resold" and shipped in April, 1942 to Pat Koester (the Evansville, IN chips of which you are looking for a lavender fifty center). Along with that shippment, an additional 100 lavenders were made and added to the previous "resold" 600. (My questions follow the image.)

I have not seen a listing for a "Los Angeles Club" in Evansville, IN, but I may not have looked in all the right places. In your opinion (or knowledge) was the re-selling and additional production something that would have happened without J. DeAm's knowledge? Or even perhaps with his knowledge? Could there have been a connection between DeAm and Koester? Afterall, E. St. Louis and Evansville are just 169 miles apart, the way the crow flies, and technically they are connected by waterways (Mississippi and Ohio Rivers).

Lastly, on the Taylor and Company order card, can you make out what the notation is over the word "address" in the upper left-hand corner?

Thanks Gene!

Just curious, but don't mean to spoil anything towards a new Illegal of the Day IL - IN.
