Lawrence Hukill James, a native of Paris, died Dade County, FL 1964 age 71.
Wasn’t able to find what he was doing when the chips were ordered. In the early 1940’s, while residing in Paris, he became the owner of a couple of race horses.

Stay tuned for the recent hub find HC in an oval research out of Steubenville, Ohio.
