THE RECORD AS IT STANDS · NOVEMBER 2026
TESTED NEGATIVE — a postwar seller in the 1949-pattern canvass (row 6). Searched: the county directory record as inventoried by the Indiana State Library; the businesses leg's whole-period directory test. Settler: the 1949–50 Polk classified sections, page by page.
GAP-D93-3a — the county trade's first local show (row 3). The 1919 Chicago show is the earliest show record in this county's press reached; a South Bend / Mishawaka dealers' show of the first era is neither documented nor excluded. Settlers: Tribune / News-Times motor pages, 1919–1925; trade-press association notices.
GAP-D93-8a — Gates of Granger's opening year on SR 23 (row 8). The house, its tier and its parent course are documented; its Granger opening date is not in the record reached. Settlers: the company's own store history; county building records; the Tribune archive.
CONFLICT CARRIED WHOLE. Businesses's "no automobile dealership" against Gates of Granger's own "dealership" wording — reconciled in print, in row 8's article, only on the franchise line, and flagged here so assembly does not smooth either text. Gurley Leep's first-dealership year prints 1974 (company history) and 1973 (dealer-press copies), unmerged.
NOT REOPENED. Rows 1, 2, 4 and 9 stand as banked; the franchise negative was not re-run in this section.
