Show me one piece of text that says Don The Beachcomber IS or WAS Tiki, in my or Jeff Berry's work, please.

im not challenging you and even with forgetting about the chart, i had assumed beachcombers was too early. im still trying to pinpoint a defining moment when the tikis appeared in restaurants and homes/home bars. i suppose people were traveling to and from hawaii prior to 1959 (hawaii became a US state) and had their own backyard luaus and most likely tikis.
