There is a matchbook showing all the Kon-Tiki restraunts, then further down is the Kon-Tiki Ports, Ports o' Call (in the Sheraton_Dallas), The Chaparral Club (Southland Center) and the Luau (Beverly Hills). I wonder if Stephen Crane had something to do with it. I know that Stephen Crane Assoc. ran the Chaparral Club as a private club around the same time as Ports O' Call. That's why it was listed on the matchbook. It was on the 37th floor and later moved to the 38th.
