1910–1929 · boundary seats stated
William Hass, in partnership with George Bales — purchasers in 1921 of a lumberyard in North Liberty, on the company's own timeline the beginning of the Big C story; the partners reincorporated in 1926. The seat is North Liberty, not Granger — entered here because the firm's Granger chapter (facility 1981, headquarters on Princess Way) makes its founding pair this roster's, and the boundary is stated rather than the entry dropped. The North Liberty Lumber and Coal Company's incorporation of 1904 and Hass's arrival in 1919 stand in the same timeline, printed as the company gives them. Andrew Hubbell "Hub" Beardsley — born 25 September 1864 on a farm near Granger, chairman of Miles Laboratories 1925–1936 and its "second founder" on the company's centennial history; the firm is Elkhart's, the chairman's birth is this ground's, and he is entered at exactly that strength, here and in the cross-check. His brother Charles Beardsley — Miles's president (1944) and chairman (1947) — belongs to the next buckets by date and to Elkhart by seat; he is named here only to keep the brothers' lines from merging. No Granger-seated firm of these decades is named in the record reached: the farm century continued unnamed at village scale, and the directories that would name it are the completeness article's named settler.
