ITEM 11 · THE TRADE'S ORGANIZED LIFE RAN AT COUNTY AND STATE GRAIN
The leg closes with the trade's organized form — the dealers' association, its chapters and its lobbying century — and Walkerton's record in it is a pointer, printed as one. No Walkerton or Lincoln Township dealer association, and no county chapter seated in this town, is documented in any record reached; the town's three-seller trade of 1916 and its one-point postwar trade were below the size at which a local chapter forms. The organized life the town's dealers did join ran at the grains above them: the county's dealer community in the cities, and the state association — the Automobile Dealers Association of Indiana, the trade's Indianapolis body across the regulatory century — whose record is the Indiana leg's and the cities' builds', not this town's. The item closes DUG at pointer size: the association article for Walkerton is the documented absence of a local body, with the state body named so a reader can find the trade's organized history where it actually lives.
Principal sources: the directory and trade record as reached (no local body); the Automobile Dealers Association of Indiana named at pointer size.
