item 10 — the trade as it stands, November 2026
As of November 2026, the clothing trade in New Carlisle is a laundry: the 2026 association roll, read whole for this section, names no clothier, no dress seller, no designer, and no tailor or alterations shop seated in town; its one garment-adjacent entry is Spin City Laundry, a service, not a trade in cloth. The conclusion the banked set never drew is drawn here as this section's closing finding: the trade that Polk counted at three lines in 1916–17 — a milliner, a dry-goods house, a clothier — and Chapman at one tailor before that, has no seated successor in the town today. Dress is bought where it has been bought for a century, in the county seat and Mishawaka and now by post, and the town's fashion record closes where its evidence always pointed: a village that wore other places' making, counted honestly at three names.
