Description:

I tried to win these two dinner and drink menus from the Polynesian World restaurant on ebay a while back and grabbed the images. From the menu graphics and fonts used, it was obviously a 1970s era place.

The back of the menu indicated that the restaurant was located at the Executive International Inn. I could find no info on this place.

The drink menu starts with the old-school Romance of Rum Story.

And uses the classic Mild, Medium, Strong and Large categories with a great variety of mugs.

Some interesting twists on the drink names

Rain Killer
Dr. Fumanchu
Mystic Lamp
Aku Aku Coconut
Tiki Bowl

The dinner menu with some nice graphics

Now here is an interesting little twist. I spotted this matchbook from a strange sounding place called La Coney Island that was also located in St. Louis. It used two of the same graphics from the menus.



Maybe someone out there knows a little more about this one?
