AUDIT ROW #259 · CENSUS OF MANUFACTURES AND THE ADVERTISING RECORD, TESTED
Every fashion leg wants the garment the city sold the country; Walkerton's signature manufacture was never worn. The product this town sold the country is cut glass — tableware, made at the Central Cut Glass works whose record stands in Businesses — and the test the checklist orders was run against that fact, not around it: the Census of Manufactures classes and the Independent's advertising record were tested for a Walkerton garment line in any material — a boot, a coat, a uniform, a cloth good of any kind carrying the town's name to a national market. No garment line appears. The cloth-adjacent trades the town did hold were wood trades — barrel hoops, doors, planing-mill work — whose products are containers and buildings, not dress. The item therefore closes with its finding printed: on this ground the signature-product limb of the fashion leg is a tested negative, and the town's fashion history runs through its sellers and its wearers, who are the subjects of the articles that follow, not through a maker. The settler for anything below advertising strength is the manufactures schedules themselves, named here so the negative's strength is stated exactly.
