Row 11 · Claim literature search
Lead: The claim literature was searched for a disputed manufacture claim tied to this ground — a garden-tractor or implement works that one source seats in New Carlisle, Indiana and another disputes — and no claim attaches. What the search does return are the two standing confusions that could manufacture one, printed here so the record can refuse them by name. Second, the county confusion: Wheel Horse and Oliver are both genuinely of this county and genuinely not of this town — South Bend manufacture, a dozen miles east, is the raw material from which a careless "New Carlisle-built" claim would be assembled, and Rows 2 and 7 print the works records that keep both marques in South Bend (and Oliver tractors in Charles City, Iowa). No source reached asserts a New Carlisle, Indiana works against another source's denial; there are not two sides to print because there is no claim. That is this item's honest negative, arrived at by searching the marque registers and the claim-shaped returns, not by assuming it.
