The Mid-Century Clothing Trade

c. 1950 · the directory not reached

The row asks for the clothing trades as they stood at one named mid-century date, separate from founding and present. No mid-century directory for this ground was readable whole from open sources, and a trade state is not reconstructed from the 1921 snapshot and the present one. Named gap: the c.1950 clothing-trade state of South Bend, Mishawaka, and Osceola is uncoverable from open sources here. Its settling source is a mid-century Polk directory (c.1950) for South Bend–Mishawaka, its classified clothing sections read whole, with the Osceola village listings read on the same pass. What can be said without that directory is already banked and is not enlarged here: the village censuses before it name no clothing trade, and the present state (art-52-10) is retail only.

Sources: none reached for the mid-century state; the settler is named in the article.
