Through 1940 and after

The bigger towns' arc — downtown house to highway lot — is not in this town's record, and neither is any dealer institution. The documented trade ground stays on Main and Center Streets in town through 1940: the garages at 101 West Center and 128 North Main, a filling station near 109 North Main, the 1940 stations on Main Street. No dated move of a North Liberty dealer to a State Road 23 corridor lot was found in any carrier reached — printed as not shown in the record reached, not as never happened; the one corridor-address seller found, Veldman, is undated and township ground. And no dealer-association activity naming North Liberty was found — a negative at search strength, printed at boundary size to close the leg: this town's auto trade, from the harness shop to the Ford point to the service garages, ran without leaving an institutional trace any carrier reached can name.
