Boundaries — the works that are Mishawaka's

Printed as boundaries, never absorbed

The rule: South Bend and Mishawaka run together on the map and in the labor market, but they are separate cities, and Mishawaka has its own build later in this project. The famous names below stand inside Mishawaka's city limits, and each is printed here once, as a boundary, so that no reader mistakes them for South Bend's record — and so that their own record, when it is built, starts from the right side of the line.

Ball Band and the Red Ball: the Mishawaka Woolen Manufacturing Company, maker of Ball Band rubber footwear and the red-ball shoes, was Mishawaka's great employer from the nineteenth century into the twentieth; it is Mishawaka's record.

Wheelabrator: the Wheelabrator works, maker of industrial cleaning and blasting machinery, stand in Mishawaka; it is Mishawaka's record.

AM General production: the company's trucks are built in Mishawaka — Humvees from the fall of 1984 at the McKinley Highway plant, and the commercial Hummer H2 (2002–2009) and the Mercedes-Benz R-Class (2015–2017) under contract there; the production is Mishawaka's record, and South Bend carries the headquarters only (above).

University Park Mall: the regional mall that drew the downtown trade east in the 1970s stands in Mishawaka; it is Mishawaka's record, noted in Robertson's entry only because the trade moved there.

Bendix's second plant: the larger Bendix plant built in 1951 stands in Mishawaka; it is Mishawaka's record. Honeywell keeps a second site in Mishawaka beside its South Bend wheel-and-brake plant, on the same terms.

And the giants, once more:
