Sprinigfield, Illinois
Though not widely known outside of Mother Road circles, Ed Waldmire Jr, founder of the Cozy Dog Drive In of Springfield, invented the corndog, or "hotdog on a stick" back in the 1940s and based his small chain of restaurants on the now-familiar concoction.
At right is a vintage photograph from the Waldmire collection, showing the Cozy Dog Drive In in its early days of operation.
Reproduced below is a postcard of somewhat more recent vintage, from the University's collection.
Bon Appetit!
