I bet there are a few more Ads in those books to be found. Almost every year the Beachcomber was here in Vancouver there was an Ad for it. Most of the Ads were the same designs though. I found quite a few different restaurants that were tropical in name when I went through a bunch of old phone books so who knows what you may find. Keep hunting!! This Ad you posted is really cool as it has their logo Tiki drawn on the left side and then an obviously copied piece of art from another Tiki establishment. Great Ad!! What year did you get this one out of?? I am thinking it is an early one as it is quite original for the Beachcombers Ads (Even though they did copy some of their art). I mean, most of the Ad's are the same with the logo Tiki on them. I gotta say DC, your idea of the Leilani is close but I gotta say it's much more like the Kon Tiki Sign from Tucson, Arizona: It has the same style of Mask, Torches, and the background even has the same cross-like style. Less of course the Kon Tiki name! Guess the Beachcombers artist either paid a visit or saw a menu or something from the Kon Tiki. Mahalo, TabooDan [ Edited by: TabooDan 2010-01-14 15:18 ]
