Bev's Diner (Bone's Diner)
c. 1938, 1950, Valentine Manufacturing Company. 10 E. Main St.
Seating all of ten customers on swivel stools, this Depression-era “portable steel sandwich shop” is one of the “little diners or dinettes” created in 1938 by the Valentine Company of Wichita, Kansas. It is also one of a vanishing species, and its place on Main Street in a town known the world over for the Greenbrier comes as a surprise to all but its regular customers.
