I tried for this menu from Jakamos on ebay that features a Tiki totem on the cover. The ebay listing stated that it was menu was dated 1965. Google news info shows that a fire burned Jakamos in 1972. After that it became Clancy's which is still there. The Clancy's building looks identical to the rendering on the menu cover, so maybe the fire gutted the interior and the building was saved. Also found out that the owner was, Ambrose G. "Amos" Brosh who moved to Long Beach after WW II. One can only assume that his partner name was Jack (Jak Amos... get it!). Looks like a job for A-Frame to hit the Long Beach library in search of. DC
