More Businesses: What Was Not Found

Each item with the record class that would settle it

(1) A brewer, brewery, distiller, rectifier, or wholesale liquor house — tested negative 1837–1920 at directory and federal-list strength in the distilleries file; settlers: the News run, the state alcohol commission's permit database at database strength, the unread 1920s gazetteers. (2) An ice dealer, ice house, or Potato Creek ice harvest; settlers: the unread classified Ice Dealers headings, the Sanborn sheets, Karst's shelf copy. (3) A drayman or teamster-for-hire by name — the livery keeper now standing found (Aukerman, from c.1900), the residue is the pre-1900 keeper and any drayman at all; settlers: Chapman and Howard at page image, the 1909 Sanborn read directly. (4) A standalone coal dealer, or the Lumber & Coal Company's people; settlers: the Sanborns, the News. (5) The 1960 laundry's operator; settler: the 6 October 1960 News item read whole. (6) The elevator's owner or operator in any year, and Feed & Grain Inc.'s founding line; settlers: the 1943 grain journal read whole, the corporation filings, the Sanborns, the railroad valuation records. (7) The Home Manufacturing Company's product; settlers: the corporation filings, Chapman's biographies at page image. (8) Either 1916–17 silo firm's course, and the 1967 silo company's descent; settlers: the filings, the News, the 1929 Sanborn. (9) The Gem Theatre's address, owner, and course; the Foster and Wabash hotels beyond one line each; the 1929 dwelling-hotel's name; settlers: the Sanborns read directly, the News of 1912–1929. (10) The 1943 bank's founders and officers, the 1927→1943 bridge, and the 1929 second bank's name; settlers: the banking department's reports and charter record, the FDIC's fuller history, the May 1943 press. (11) A Black proprietor named in any carrier — the roster sweep's zero return; settlers: the census manuscripts for Liberty Township (household occupation lines), the News run, the county histories at page image — the classes that name small proprietors the gazetteers miss. (12) A woman proprietor in manufacturing, banking, grain, or the auto trade — the sweep's return is hotel, millinery, drugs, cottage, and beauty only; settlers: the same classes as (11), plus the unread directory years. (13) The Manufacturing Company's end date, markets, and plant, and the extrusion plant's founding firm and year; settlers as queued in their entries. (14) A named bridge figure in the blacksmith-to-welding succession, and any job-printing-only shop or named pressman; settlers: the News run, the unread 1900s–1910s directories. (15) A Prohibition enforcement item, a township remonstrance or local-option event, and the war-years (1942–45) dealer course — the brewing and dealerships files' negatives at search strength, carried here because each is also a business-record gap; settlers: the county commissioners' record, the Hoosier State Chronicles runs, and the federal court's Northern District dockets.
