A business venture was launched. Today, however, it has become one of Hawaii's leading transportation companies in the field of sightseeing and only because you, the traveling public, with your words of encouragement have made Tiki Transportation what it is today. The back also has a nice photo of some of the drivers by a lovely long limo with "Tiki Transportation" written on it.

You write that it is now one of Hawaii's leading transportation companies. Would you have a mailing address for them so we can send them a complimentary issue of Electrifying Times magazine?

"Now" as in then, not "now" as in now. I'm sure the Tiki Taxi has long since shuttled it's last passenger quite a while ago.
