The Capital Times, Madison, Wisconsin :

June 30th, 1939 - I did notice that in the pre-opening ads and articles, nothing is written about the Hei Tiki room and all that is mentioned is that their are "unique interiors designed by Alden Nelson", this may have been to keep under wraps the Hei Tiki room as it being something rather avantgarde for the day, and as the after opening write up seems to imply caused quite a stir...

July 8th, 1939 -

July 15th, 1939 -

September 17th, 1939 -

Note sure how long this place lasted but mention of the club runs into 1940.
