**Part 2 - Receipts, Fun, and Booze **

A while ago, Buzzy lucked out by purchasing a giant box of Tiki Bar matchbooks and other paraphernalia from the daughter of the guy who collected them. We call this guy Matchbook Man, and he seemed to have been a national salesman of some kind, and MAN did he live it up. He seemed to have gone to pretty much EVERY DANG TIKI BAR in the whole country, but also stopped at every Playboy club, every BBQ hangout, and made a detour to Las Vegas whenever possible. There were obscure hotel keys, gambling chips, cigars and strip club tokens stashed among the matchbooks. And as Buzzy noted, every single match had been used. He lit up cigarettes or the cigs of his clients wherever he went. This guy, Matchbook Man is OUR HERO. He was the consummate 60’s businessman, and you BET he didn’t collect receipts. He was probably successful as hell.

Awesome!
