The Two Continents was a longtime Washington dining institution associated with politicians, government officials and Washington society. Most notably, the restaurant is associated with the famous December 1974 dinner at which economist Arthur Laffer reportedly illustrated the idea later known as the “Laffer Curve” on a napkin while dining with Jude Wanniski, Donald Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney.
This matchbook is not represented as being from that specific dinner; it is an original period advertising piece from the restaurant.
Attractive black, gold and red Two Continents graphics with black matches and red heads. Original matches remain present and appear unused. Hotel Washington address and telephone numbers printed inside and on the lower flap.
Very nice vintage condition with light age/storage wear as shown. Please see photos.
