My father worked as a top salesman for Southern Motors at 341 Union Avenue, for 16 years. Joe Canepari then decided to cut salesmen's commissions to almost nothing.

Oh_Possum, in some previous posts under other topics, we — and I — pretty much decided that photo was NOT of the Luau. It just doesn't have the cramped and cluttery feel to it that the Luau had, though of course it was always so dark in there it was hard to really see anything.

My grandmother is related to Joe Canepari by marriage. She has a photo of him as a young man with about 30 other family members at a birthday party in about 1925.

Did you ever figure out the name of the restaurant that had the "Tiki" motif?
