Charles Smith & Charles Clyde Murphy were
both natives of Indiana. In 1917 a Billiard Hall owned by Smith &
Murphy was one of the first tenants in the new two-story Klink
Building located at the corner Broadway and North Fifth Avenue in Thermopolis,
WY.
I'm assuming they were still operating it when the chips were
ordered in Feb. 1921 (I know they were as late as summer 1920)

| Article below from the Wyoming State Tribune from 30 May 1917 | Here's a street survey map from 1918 which shows the location. In the pic to the left, there's a Schlitz sign next to billiard hall; on the map below it shows Sal. = saloon. |
