That's a great ashtray & postcard !

Here's a cocktail & appetizer menu from the Polynesian Village:

There was also a Polynesian Village at the Edgewater Beach Hotel in Chicago (the menu below is from the Edgewater location):

This style of die cut menu was also used by The Polynesian Village in Boston, and one just sold on ebay a few days ago :

It looks identical, with same illustrations, type style, etc. Inside the above menu, it states that both the Somerset Hotel
in Boston & Edgewater Beach Hotel in Chicago were owned by the Hotel Corporation of America. Were there more
Polynesian Village locations owned by this hotel chain, or was this just a borrowed idea for menu graphics?
