-----------------------------

John Scarse is listed with a conditional sale for a Ward & Dickinson in Saratoga County, New York.  

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

Found a photo of a possible Ward in Schenectady, New york. 10 Water St.  Ogdensburg newspaper "Philip Tomlinson is moving to Schenectady New York with a diner he bought from a Silver Creek concern and will open around July 15th, 1929."

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 disappears

St. Louis, Missouri then disappears.
Connecticut - Waterbury, moved 5 times and about to move again, could be Ladd's Stratford one.

Deluxe 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

Short time list:

(#35)Sharon, PA disappeared after 1930ish

(#42)1140 Kensington in Buffalo

(#20)Tonawanda, NY from Gingras

(#53)Erie, PA - Never figured out what happened ot DelPorto's diner.

Sacramento and other Oakland diner never showed up in city dirs.

Toronto, Ontario - As many as 4 of the 8 diners disappeared.

Gowanda, New York - Wesson's Main Diner was a Ward, but was quickly replaced by much larger on-site.

Second diner in Tulsa, Oklahoma only lasted roughly one year.

Rochester, New York:  412 State(Alva A Wells) 1928;  156-158 N Clinton(Donald Van Tassel) 1927-1928

Lancaster, New York - I speculate this became the diner in Chautauqua, New York

Rutland, VT

Thomas T Walsh 6 Wales 1929; bankrupt in 1930 and Ward & Dickinson was listed as a creditor

Miss Rutland Diner - A Alfred Rabidou - 8 Wales 1930;  Delore A Geno 1932


Spencer Stewart has shared with me a photo of a W&D on a seemingly main drag, but a residential neighborhood.
