1916–17 in town; the market's course is South Bend's
The township's produce moved through a buyer in town and a market in the city; the buyer is proven, the market is a pointer. Polk's 1916–17 directory lists Finch Bros, grain and feed, among North Liberty's businesses, with the North Liberty Lumber & Coal Co. beside it — a grain-and-feed dealer proven in town, printed as exactly that and not as an elevator; the elevator's own course is dug in the businesses leg. The city end of the line is the South Bend Farmer's Market, whose whole course belongs to South Bend's file; here it stands at pointer size, with its own founding conflict carried at the same size: market tradition dates its beginning to 1911 at the Colfax Street bridge, with moves to South Fellows Street and then, in late 1928, to the present Northside Boulevard site, a fire in September 1971, and the present building opened 14 December 1972 — while Notre Dame Magazine's account quotes a market board member dating its incorporation to 1924. A gathering begun in 1911 and a corporation formed in 1924 may both be true; the file does not merge them.
