Firms and Trades Not Found in the Record

EACH MISS NAMED, WITH THE RECORD CLASS THAT WOULD SETTLE IT

A gap leg owes its reader the residue, named. These are the firms and trades the sweep did not find, each with the record class that would settle it. The Economist plow works — a fourth chilled-plow name the checklist pattern supposes beside Oliver, South Bend Chilled Plow and Bissell: not found in the History Museum's plow record, Chapman's manufactories, Howard, or the web record; settler, The History Museum's industrial files and the St. Joseph County Public Library's South Bend city-directory trade headings, 1870–1900. The Associates' founding — the finance company's birthplace and founding instrument are not stated in its SEC or FTC record as reached; settler, the International Directory of Company Histories' Associates entry and the Indiana Secretary of State's entity records. A Granger blacksmith after 1882 — the 1882–83 gazetteer lists none; the later village's smith, if any, stands in the 1890s gazetteer editions and county directories at the St. Joseph County Public Library, the same settler class GAP-BIZ-5 named, now narrowed to the blacksmith alone, the storekeeper being found. A commercial printer, an ice dealer, and a laundry on this ground at any date — none found at directory strength; settler, the SJCPL county directories' trade headings and the Tribune archive. An accounting or survey firm founded on this ground — none found; settler, the Indiana Secretary of State's business-entity records searched by Granger address. A rival lumber house to Big C seated in Granger — none found at any date; settler, the SJCPL directories' lumber headings and the FDIC-style branch records' lumber equivalent, the county building records. And the village's full second rank beyond its two gazetteer names — the harness-maker, the shoemaker, the wagonmaker a rail village of the 1890s would ordinarily list — stands with the blacksmith: settler, the later Polk editions at the St. Joseph County Public Library.
