Looks like there was lots more of these places way back then. But what did OA make and what did they buy from others longs ago? The guy/ or gal who made at least some of the lights and other stuff is some guy/gal we will never know. I find it amazing we have never even heard about these other tiki supply houses till now. Just how many tiki suppy places were there back then? A book about all the tiki suppy houses back then would be a great book if nothing eles just for the photos of the stuff in the catalogs.
