Great info on the glassware Swanky, funny that they had a ruler next to the glass as my parents had four restaurants at one time and they served a small water glass right when you walked in and sat.

Well over time that glass would be taller and shorter one might say what's the big deal but when you put them on a tray after washing dishes they don't stack well as the tray is sitting on all different heights when trays are stacked, these big places would have had LOTS of stacked trays of glasses.

You should hear the noise of stacks of those trays falling to the ground.

And on keeping these glasses on hand back in the day if we did not have an item we needed the salesperson would bring it out to us like right then that day, at times in under an hour if we needed it for lunch.

So, they may not have had to have them right there but that is a ton of glassware and just think there must have been so few other places using some of those glasses, bet they stocked some of those glasses just for DTB.

But then that one glass looks like a Vase for flowers too.

Polster's would carry a better quality for our place because we would grip when they tried to give us the cheap stuff, nobody eles was buying the high dollar stuff so Polster's did not want to stock it anymore.

When I worked at OSU many years after my parent's place, they could not even return a mistake sent to OSU by their supplier and getting something brought out to them on a special trip just because OSU needed it, well that never happened.

Our small diner was treated better back then than the HUGE account that OSU had years later.

Thats how much worse it has gotten for restaurants today.
