Bill,
As of now the Lindner Daly article does mention his work for other retailers/makers (e.g., Wm. Schaefer & Son, Golcher, etc., etc.), but does not get into much detail. To be honest, the arrangements Lindner/SD&G had with these other companies is very murky. There are also not (yet) enough of these "other" makes in the database to conclude very much. And lastly, the article is pretty long as is so I'm trying to keep it focussd on this part of the story.
Of course, all this presumes Cote is even interested in the article.
