Producers — No Mogul, and the Roster Drawn Honestly
The title line answers the mogul test plainly, as the audit row requires: no mogul. No producer of the first rank — and, on the searches shown below, no producer of any rank — was born, raised, formed or seated in the Granger CDP. What this county does hold is one of the first rank entire, raised in South Bend, and a second rank of the same neighbouring ground, and this section carries them at boundary size with every tie graded, because a fame file that tests actors but never producers leaves the reader to assume the bigger names were never checked. They have been checked now. Granger's own producing record, at the end of the roster, is local and institutional only — and where even that thins past the open record, the gap and its settling source are named.
