The Olympus Café opened about 1898 at 112 1st Avenue South, "Situated right in the business district of Seattle ... Just South of the Totem Pole." This small booklet, printed with New Year's greetings, includes promotional text and a photo of the cafe's "Venetian Room."

On each left-hand page is the emblem of the Golden Potlatch "Bug," which advertised the summer event. The Golden Potlatch was held in Seattle July 15 to 20 in 1912, coordinated and promoted by downtown businesses to keep Seattle in the public eye after the popular A-Y-P Exposition in 1909. The name "Golden Potlatch" appropriates an Northwest Coast Native ceremony of celebration and gift giving. It also reflects the importance of the Klondike gold rush to Seattle's growth. Many organizers and participants in the Golden Potlatch dressed in stereotyped imitations of traditional Native attire, as part of a created Potlatch myth. The appropriation of Native culture in order to market products or events was one common example of discrimination and marginalization faced by Native peoples in the United States.
