But consider this, they could have sold Polynesian food along with Chinese. Why? Well, from reading what Dennis said this company might have been a family restaurant who when ordering their match books (and probably menus and such) just picked an oriental design because that's what was available. Now this is just hypothetical, but this printing company was probably a cheap one who didn't have a lot of designs and used the same basic layout. That way they could quickly crank out the goods for the customer. They (the Kon Tiki Ports) probably had the choice of a Chinese Junk (or other oriental items such as Geisha, a pagoda, or what-not) or a palm tree. If this is the case (lets hope so) then more investigating could bring up more evidence. Any one contact city records?
