Sabu, that is a great magazine ad. I would think it was very rare that a vintage tiki place outside of Hawaii was still using Tikis in 1984 to promote its business. Magazine ads are special in that there so few of them still floating around.

Sneaky, that witco is a great find, on the verge of being gone forever I'm afraid. If they decide to plant some new flowers the manager might think it looks old and just throw it in the dumpster.

The witco has me wondering. Does any one know if there is a common agreed upon standard among Tiki people that allows them to preserve artifacts (purchase from business) when the owners are showing negligence in their appreciation and preservation. Or they possibly abandoned the Tiki when out of business. Most likely in a case where the devolution of the place is moving fast and the artifacts may be lost or discarded as common trash?

Would it be a good thing if done with good intentions or Taboo?
