Last night, I uncovered this Don the Beachcomber ad from the San Francisco Chronicle's travel section, May 31, 1959. Travelers could choose between three unique vacations organized by DTB. I am not sure if this was the DTB company or Don himself but I am hoping this is covered in the upcoming book Searching for Don the Beachcomber.
