The company produced some 2,000 of the long, narrow, primarily metal buildings, perhaps more than any other firm.

[1] Prefabricated in a factory and trucked to their locations, the diners resemble and are often confused with railroad rolling stock.

The wagon helped spark New Jersey's golden age of diner manufacturing.
