The empty headings, printed as empty
The negatives:Farr's 1883 classified directory carries no Laundries heading and no Transfer or Storage heading; both trades are documented in this section from other records, and the headings' absence is itself the finding. No artificial-ice plant for the city was traced in the records reached. No firm of the second rank named in the census of manufactures' industry lines, beyond those carried here and in the Industrial Revolution record, was verified to a firm's own record.
The open ends: Four facts this section prints as open, for the update cycle: the O'Brien Corporation's course after its 1983 nomination; the year the Associates' executive offices left South Bend, which stands between 1979 and the Ford era; the foundings and fates of the Bissell and Economist chilled-plow works, which stand at their 1883 directory lines; and the M. B. Each is named so that a later pass can settle it against a record, rather than against this section.
