25 cent COTD

259 Bride St.Winnemucca, Nv 1958. Interesting that this is only the 2nd known quarter chip from this location that hosted at least 4 diffrent Clubs over the years. The Mint, Kirby Club Bingo,Texan Club and the Red Bull. At least 3 of these were owned and operated by the Mackie Family. Fresh from Texas, Joe and brother Bret opened the Texan Club. And as quickly as you could say "Cow Chip", they parted ways But in time the brothers who could not see eye to eye on the everyday operation of the Texan had a gaming monopoly in Winnemucca, owning the Red Bull and the Star Broiler across the street.
