Iron, wheel, hosiery, beer, meatpacking — each sector was tested against the whole business record, and none carries a fortune on this ground. Iron: the township's iron is a blacksmith's line in the Chapman-era roster and one boundary fact — William L. Earl's partnership in Mishawaka's early iron works, Mishawaka ground, printed at boundary in the stories file; no iron fortune seats in Union Township. Wheel and wagon: artisan scale — a wagonmaker (Perry E.) in the directory-era roster, carriage and repair work at shop size; no wheel works, no sized outcome. Hosiery: the word does not occur in the business record at any era — no mill, no maker, no fortune; the sector is empty for this ground, tested against the full text of the business pages. Beer: no brewery at any date; the drink trade on this ground is the saloon and tavern line (Earl's licensed tavern of 1836 at the head of it), retail by the glass — and the wineries file's negative rides with it: no distiller or rectifier of record in the township. Meatpacking: a meat market (Brewer John's, in the Chapman roster) — retail butchery, not packing; no packing house, no sized outcome. The test's conclusion prints as the row requires: the only fortune-class outcome this ground has produced is in a sector the checklist does not name — tires (Hoosier Racing Tire, its exit carried in conflict at $140 million against "nearing $155 million," never merged) — and the five named sectors between them produced shops, not fortunes. The richest-man limb stands as the tested file left it: the test was run, and no richest man stands (settler, the county probate course, for any future sizing).
