I got a hold of this nice tourist packet issued by United Air Lines from 1969 and besides pamphlets of site seeing recommendations came with a catalog called "Luau Party Planner" which showcases luau tips and drink recipes. But more importantly for our purpose is a catalog that runs the gamut of Polynesian kitsch relics from attire to shells, flowers, mai tai making kits, and loads of tikis for every occasion. The going rate for a tiki mug back then was $1 or $.75 if you order 72 or more. The mailing address was Paradise Products, Inc in EL Cerrito California. Here's a few pictures.
