Also, although Steinbeck doesn't refer to it directly, the reader gets the impression that he has been the stable buck at this ranch for quite some time, whereas many of the other men working there are truly migrants.
Remember that when George and Lenny first arrived, they were filling the bunks of men who had just left the job, and they themselves were migrant workers moving from farm to farm.
Because of the probable length of time Crooks had been at this one job, he was able to accumulate more.
