>> Palace Club:
The Palace Club is another of Galveston, Texas', many gambling
dens. The club located at 2014 Ave E was first raided in 1941 and
the owner Woody Walker plead guilty to the crime of allowing
gambling on his property. His fine - $25! The club was again found
to have gambling in 1957 when the city cracked down on the illegal
activities of Galveston. <<
The link to his page on the Palace Club (includes a copy of the same ad as is shown in Frank Chalfant's book, dated there as April 4, 1947) is:
