Gard's Diner in Dunkirk needs to be dealt with (needs to be 208 in db)
old Milford diner in Connecticut seems to be a W&D from their webpage. photo is a small interior, so more proof needs to occur. Wondering if this is actually Milford, Penna, which is a verified W&D
Last diner in Elizabethtown, PA that the Kupp's brokered.
There were three diners in Auburn, New York. Now the question is WHEN did the 2nd get replaced, and where did it go? I only have two in the database. 3rd prob came in around 1938 when Bush was being prtested for hiring non union labor.
1939 - A W&D goes from Kingston, NY to Rochester, NY. Is it the town of Rochester which is south of Kingston, or the main Rochester? Kerhonksen is in Town of Rochester.
Did I add the diner in Reading that was replaced by the Reading diner?
How many did Pace have in Chicago? There is a picture of #4.
201 should say Hazelton, not Honesdale

Binghamton has a mystery Ward and Dickinson. Something isn't meshing, but photo shows interior of a W&D, just the address is pecular.
Sunbury, Penna to Shamokin, Penna then disappearsDeluxe Matchbooks - These diners gave out matchbooks that showed a picture of a W&D Deluxe model, which seems to have a better record of being an actual W&D
