Still, there are some diners in Erie that have not been accounted for from the conditional sales records. Maybe some of them are Tierneys, as that list is a little fuzzy right now. Hopefully, the city of Erie still has their building permit records. Pennsylvania has what are called Open Records Officers, so if you are unsure, you write to the representative for the part of government, and they will tell you if the records exist(or find out) and will get back to you promptly. If only every state was this good!
Other notes: Conditional sales are only for diners bought on the payment plan. If you had the money, you did not have to file a conditional sale. Also, it does not seem Bixler filed these anywhere, or did so with a different name other than Bixler. Like any record, these are not a perfect system, but they are helpful
Two diners are listed under Dunkirk, the sales arm of Mulholland, an independently owned company. Conditional sales did not start until mid 1925, so all three confirmed locations for Mulholland diners, Corry, Union City and Wesleyville may have already received their diner. And maybe one of these was in Erie? I need to check 1926 and 1928 city directories for these two names. With the renewal date and assignment, they had these diners for more than just a year.
National Diner - This was Dr. J.J. Sharpe's company name. I believe this diner was either replaced by the rare Guy Russell built diner(moved from Ripley, NY) or was one of two diners that were supposedly in North East, PA
Richardson - some strange stuff going on here. He had passed away awhile by Sept of 1926. So maybe his paperwork was passed to his son, who was running the company. But something doesn't make sense.
Reinhardt's They had a chain of diners, as many as four at one time it would seem. One Tierney was posted on Flickr and another was in the original version of Diners of PA.
