Love the matchbook.
P.S.: DC, I'm not Bosko!

Boy, I leave TC for a few months and things go to hell.

First of all, that is a nice matchbook that TikiTacky added, but it's from a restaurant located in Fairbanks Alaska and has nothing to do with this thread. I would suggest that a new thread be started under Locating Tiki for that establishment so we can find out more about it. Or, we could just make this thread the depository of every Trade Winds sighting ever!

Secondly, the postcard that I posted was originally submitted by Bosko on the Trade Winds thread that I provided a link to. It listed the address on the back from Clinton rather than Oklahoma City which is why I referenced it.

Now, with all that being said, the description that Uncle Trav provided clearly indicates that the sign on Pickers was not one of the big neon signs from the hotel, but a painted roadside version. Would love to see a screengrab if some one has the show.
