Thompson's was originally what they called a "one armed Dairy Lunch" opening his first lunch room in Chicago late 1890's. Eventually expanding into one of the largest national chains of the 1920's. The chain finally became a cafeteria style restaurant. Alot has been written on Thompson's lunch rooms easily googled.
