The market line — the county's market is South Bend's

Market histories as cited (Indiana Public Media / Indiana Memory, 2012; secondary carriers as stated)

Clay Township's produce sold where the county's produce sold — in South Bend — and no market house of the township's own was found. The South Bend Farmer's Market, at pointer strength in this section: established in 1911 at the Colfax Street bridge, drawing a hundred or more sellers by the early 1920s, settled on Northside Boulevard in late 1928. Its fire prints as a boundary conflict in the register (C37): one carrier gives a 1970 fire and a new building in 1972, another a September 1971 fire and a reopening on 14 December 1972. For Roseland and Clay Township the sweep's answer is a clean negative at the spans searched: no market house, market stand or market day of the township's own appears in any carrier read — the farm gate, the corridor's fruit market of 1955, and the South Bend market were the township's outlets, in ascending order of distance.
