One table with the dealer name and address. Do your query to return results
if the value of the state field equals the state selected. BTW, there are
only 50 states if you are talking about the US..... anything else is a
territory.
There are a couple of tags out there that will do this by zip code, which
has much more mojo IMHO than just searching by state. You can find them here
