The "Trader" you see scribbled all over the history of Tiki (Trader Vic's, Trader Sam's, Trader Mort's, etc...) is actually African Big Game Hunter in origin; lifted from the book and incredible 1931 film "Trader Horn" - which also started the whole Jungle/Tarzan/Hunter/Explorer/Hippo/Crocodile/Native Girl & Bikini fascination that still haunts us.
