| Liquor store owned by Andrew C. Escalona. Escalona was a Phillipino immigrant who previously owned the "Club Inn", a Delano bar, restaurant, and licensed card room in the 1950s.
T. R. King Co. sold about 1250 of these small crown chips in seven denominations to Ace Liquor Store, Danny Escalona, 1103 Glenwood Street, Delano, California, in 1969. "Bataan" is typed on one of the order cards. It is possible that these chips were used at the "Bataan Pool Parlor", at 919 Gleenwood St., owned by Joseph C. Escalona.
