Pass R-4 sweep summary
The business sweep closes with its negatives in one place. Not found, at the spans stated in the files: any Roseland entry in the 1916–17 gazetteer; any name for the 1927 grocery, meat market or garages; any in-town manufacturer proven beyond a listing; any employment figure for the town in any era; any medical office beyond one counselling listing; any bank, building-and-loan or franchised car dealer — the last three carried whole in their own files. The settler classes repeat because the record's shape repeats: the unread directory shelf (the 1921 extraction, Hibbard's 1916 and 1919 volumes, the Ancestry-carried Polk years), the gazetteer's classified part, the press archive, and the county's parcel record. A pass that reads the first of those shelves will close more of this ledger than any other single act, and it is named here as the ledger's head.
