Pretty good list from a newspaper ad I found looking for something else.

Interesting list, but why is this under USA Northeast, while the Watertown NY post is under USA Mid-Atlantic?

Shouldn't NY stuff be in one or the other?

No geographic conspiracy involved. I just wasn't paying close enough attention. The Watertown post has been moved.

I wasn't thinking there was one, just more of a thought I'd let you know thing :)

Interesting that they were mostly a small town operator by that point. No stores in Syracuse (maybe I'm missing some suburbs), but just a few in the Buffalo and Rochester areas. They also covered a lot of ground from Erie PA (where they never had more than a couple stores) to the "North Country" along the St. Lawrence.
