They did many of the menus of the great Tiki temples in California, and are among the first companies I sought out when I began my research in the early 90s, imagining a treasure trove beyond the O.A. collection....but they had not kept any of heir old designs, nothing, nada! This was before e-bay and the internet, so I had to start from scratch. Anyway: Next we should find the cocktail menu, please!
