New Hot Springs Illegal

It is always a good day when you get a new illegal chip.
Benjamin F Harrison
740 Central ave
1934
Citizens Cigar Store and Citizens Club on various dates.
0pen 1905 - 1951 for sure maybe longer.
Benjamin 1st shows up in 1926.
Interesting note:
(1937) Ben Harrison was subpoenaed by a State Legislative Committee to testify as the owner/operator of the Citizens Cigar Store and Sporting Results. During testimony, the State Revenue Department placed net earning for the "B. F. Harrison Cigar Store also known as the Citizen's Club" at $31,297 for year 1936. (That could be 3 mil in today's money)
ID by obtained from Gaming Archæology. Thank you Howard and Kregg Herz.
History obtained from Wayne Threadgill. He has a great book on Hot Springs illegals. I reccommend it.
Looks like 9 colors made. I want the other 8. Two each if possible. One will go to Wayne.
