Buffalo Stained Glass Riester & Frohe windows:: (A list from the archives at St. Louis RC Church)

St. Louis RC Church, Buffalo
St. Patrick's RC Church, Buffalo (razed) Some windows were salvaged for the chapel Friary at 102 Seymour Street, Buffalo. Most were incorporated (poorly ) in a new Franciscan church at Triangle Va. (near Quantico).
St. Stephen's RC Church, Elk St., Buffalo. At least the transept windows
St. Stanislaus RC Church, Buffalo.. Nave windows are Mayer/Munich. Windows in sanctuary, transepts, and over choir would be the R&F/BSGW. They are obviously of a different hue than the Mayer windows. I’d assume THOSE are the ones meant by the ad—especially since the Munich glass came later (1920s).

St. Nicholas RC Church, Buffalo (razed)
St. Columba (Some of SS. Columba/Brigid windows did survive, and have been incorporated—in much altered form—into the new church.)
Holy Angels
St. Mary's Redemptorist RC Church, Buffalo( razed)
St. Boniface (razed)
Transfiguration RC Church, Buffalo (in ruins)
St. Joseph (Albion)
St. Mary's (Medina) (the present church dates from early 1900's so it is doubtful these are the same windows)
St. Boniface (Rochester)
Notre Dame (Ogdensburg)
St. John the Baptist (Alden)
St. Paul's (Kenmore) (a prior church)
St. Ignatius (Kingston)
St. Francis (Clearfield, Pa)
St. Bernard's (Bradford)
Sts Peter and Paul (Allegheny)
St. Stanislaus (Pittsburgh)
St. Stanislaus (Erie)
St. Michael's (Loraine, Ohio)
St. Augustine's (Austin, Minn.)
St. Patrick's (Niagara Falls, Ont.)
The Chapel on the grounds of St. Mary of the Angels on Reist Street
