"The rejected chip order led to Burt Co. of Portland, Maine - manufacturer of these chips going out of business."
Not quite true. These chips were made during the time John Kendall owned the Burt Co. assets and he abandoned the business to form Chipco and produce ceramic chips. The rejected order did not cause this, John had already made his mind up to pursue full face graphics.
The original Burt Co. had already been sold to Delta Realty and subsequently John Kendall a few years before this.
