Description:
Today's entry for Locating Tiki is the Tiki Resort located on beautiful Okauchee Lake outside of Milwaukee. All I have to go on is the matchbook.

Run by Tony and Bob, and featuring, according to Bigbro:

THE most influential Tiki in 20th Century art! PICASSO'S favorite Tiki (!)

... which he acquired as early as 1912 (!), as one of the first primitive carvings in his possession! Here is the photo of his pal Apollinaire with the Tiki in Picasso's studio that I showed in The BOT:

...and here is the man himself in the 1950s adoring his muse!:

I found one little classified ad from 1970 that references the Tiki Resort.
