KaneTHERE ARE 3 RECEIPTS:1 for the (gambling) WHEEL1 for the FARO BANK game1 for the CRAP (table)THE ADVERTISING POSTAL ENVELOPEis made out toMr. A. I. LINDSEY ofAGUILAR , COLORADO .Long story short Mr. Lindsey (Arthur) was the money man and the boss. He was the mayor of Aguilar Colorado for about 20 years which was a serious mining town. For reasons, I strongly suspect that Arthur was the regional connection to the Chicago mob.Letterhead is approximate size is 8 1/2" X 11". If you have any doubt that this stuff is the REAL DEAL.. then please don't buy it. I know it's the real deal because, long ago, I personally bought the historical archive of A. I. Lindsey out of the property that he lived in which was in Aguilar, Colorado and was on the main drag of its historical district. Not only did he have investments in gambling saloons, he owned an insurance agency, a lumber yard, a hardware store, had investments in mines and more. You learn a lot about a man when you read a very large amount of his incoming mail that was never thrown away. O.Z. Kane was working for Mr. Lindsey.SOME OTHER HISTORICAL ABOUT A. I.
