Q-16 – Q-17

Two utility successions stand as pairs of attestations with no dated joint between them. The North Liberty Telephone Co. (1916–17, F. S. Stroup manager) and the United Telephone Company (advertising by 1967): no carrier reached dates the change; settlers, the state utility commission's records and the News. The North Liberty Water Co. is attested only as a 1915 inscription on the City Hall building — no officer, course, or fate in any carrier; settler, the town board minutes in the government leg's record. And Modern Electric — builder of the 1960 laundry, a television and appliance dealer by 1967 — has no principal named in any carrier; settlers, the 1960 News laundry item read whole and the News advertising record. Poynter, "Building Mover," stands in the 1875 atlas — surname continuity only, and the record's one hauling-trade personal listing, carried in the trades article below); Hazelbaker's Phillips 66 (1940); the Belleville Bakery (the 1940 name of the 122 North Main bakery); L. W. Pommert & Mapes (1940; Pommert's building and his 1912 town-board presidency stand in the businesses file); Aldrich Construction Company (the 1960 bank building's builder); Whitmer Lumber Co. and Whitmer's Greenhouse (1967); Dudeck's Country Restaurant (1967); Bob's Record Shop (1967); the Community IGA Market (1967); the North Liberty Lumber & Coal Co. (1916–17, name only); the Hein Cement Products Co. (queued above); the Independent News Company (owner of the News by 1940); and the two present-day liquor retailers at two addresses in two carriers — RMS Liquor Store, 120 North Main (town links), and the Liberty Package Store, 122 North Main (a places listing) — both printed as their carriers print them, neither merged, the pair standing in the register. Last, the 1960 "large grocery outside the district": the event is attested by the nomination, the firm unnamed, and whether it is Wilcox Supermarket or the Community IGA of the 1967 advertisements is stated by no carrier; settler, the News of 1960.
