1950s–2026 · the banked civic record; the Lions' own line; current listings read November 2026
The present row prints plainly: Lakeville has automobile repair, towing and a tire works — and no tractor dealer, tractor repair house, steam-and-gas association or farm show of its own in any carrier reached. The dealer record to the present, at its true size: the banked present trade is The Garage (302 S. Michigan), Kane's Auto Service, Tough Guy Enterprises, Lakeville Towing, and Doc Auto Inc. on SR 931, at listing strength (this history lk-civ-machines) — every one of them an automobile business. No tractor dealer, implement dealer or tractor-repair row for Lakeville stands in the current listings and directories read in this section; the township's farmers buy and repair where the county's trade has always sat, in South Bend, Plymouth and the farm towns around, and those houses are their own cities' record, not printed here as Lakeville's. No directory heading for a Lakeville implement firm outlived a firm, because the directory record never carried a dedicated house to outlive (lk-civ-machines). The culture then prints in its three parts at the sizes reached. Pulls: the one whole item — the Lakeville Lions' own first-hand line, "in the 50's and 60's, we sponsored an annual tractor pull" — a Lions institution of the 1950s–60s, printed at its carrier's size, its programme-book course the settler for more. The antique steam & gas association: no Lakeville-seated association, show ground or club of the steam-and-gas class was found in any carrier reached — a searched negative. The farm show: no Lakeville farm show stands in the record reached; the township's exhibition life ran through the county fair on this ground 1936–1945 and thereafter at South Bend's (Culture lk-cul-fair), and the fair's own pull and machinery limbs belong to the fairs leg. Settlers for the culture limbs at record strength: the Lions' history and fair programme books and the Lakeville Standard run.
